CHELMSFORD City boss Mark Hawkes admitted he is looking forward to the prospect of a potential FA Cup run this season.
The Clarets get their competition underway with the visit of Worthing FC to Melbourne Stadium on Saturday in the second round qualifying.
But Hawkes pointed out that his side must not get too far ahead of themselves and take each round as it comes.
He said: "It is very important for the money to the club and for me as a manager. I like cup runs, players like cup runs and we only have to get three wins and we might get a Colchester or a Southend here. But we have to win those three games first. We have a home tie in the first one and we have to pay them as much respect as we would an opponent from our own league and go and do our homework on them."
Worthing are currently 18th in the Ryman One South, but beat high flying Ryman Premier side Dulwich Hamlet 3-0 in the previous round.
Hawkes said: "If we start the game like we did on Saturday and put them under early pressure then hopefully they won't have the quality of teams in our division to keep us out. I think Saturday was the first game that Worthing have lost in about seven games. And I know what it is like to go to a team above you and win, because when your side is used to winning then it doesn't matter who you play against. They won't be worried about coming here but we have to fancy our chances."
