Accrington Stanley striker Lutel James is confident that his side can claim another Football League scalp when they travel to Colchester United for their FA Cup third round replay.
The two sides played out a goalless draw at the Crown Ground in the original game and James saw little difference in the quality of the two sides.
"I believe we can go forward from here and when we go to Colchester we should beat them and if we don't, I'll be disappointed," he told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.
"At the end of the day it's just 11 against 11, and between the Second and Third Division and Conference there isn't a massive difference in terms of fitness.
"Because they are Colchester and we're Accrington doesn't make a difference because they aren't a better side than us.
"We've just got to go to there and do the same as we did at home because I don't see any reason at all why we can't beat them."
The winner of Tuesday's replay will face Coventry City at Highfield Road in the fourth round.
