Colchester United's FA Cup hero Simon Brown says Accrington Stanley's giant-killing run is all but over.
The in-form U's goal-keeper, and man-of-the-match in Saturday's third-round tie at Stanley's tiny Crown Ground, said today: "We'll have them on toast on a slick surface under the Layer Road floodlights in the replay."
"Their best chance has gone and now it'll be our turn to show them what we're all about."
The replay is scheduled for tomorrow week after former Spurs keeper Brown was at his magnificent best again, pulling off a number of stunning saves to shut Nationwide Conference high-flyers Accrington out of the goalless first match.
He said: "I've come in for my share of criticism now and again so I'm happy to take the praise as well.
"It takes something extra to play non-league clubs on their own grounds and our boys stood up to the task."
