Colchester United - in the FA Cup fifth round draw for the first time in 15 years - face a possible away clash with division one side Sheffield United.
Phil Parkinson - praised fans
U's boss Phil Parkinson, mastermind of Saturday's 1-1 fourth round draw at Nationwide League First Division club Coventry City at Highfield Road, described his team's achievement as 'fantastic.'
"The whole day was outstanding," he said as he looked forward to the replay at Layer Road on Tuesday, February 3.
"Our supporters were tremendous from start to finish. They outshouted the home crowd all through the game, and we are very happy to have sent more than 2,000 Colchester fans home happy."
