Speaking ahead of their quarter-final clash with the National League South outfit Dover Athletic at the Weaver Stadium, Parkinson was hailing his Dabbers as "one of the best teams in Non-League".
Parkinson - whose side beat Dover's FA Cup first round conquerors and EVO-STIK NPL Premier Division rivals Stourbridge to set up one of the biggest games in the club's history since he led them to their 2006 FA Vase triumph as skipper - said: "It's going to be another great occasion for the football club. Dover are going well in the National League and will start as strong favourites but if we play as I know we can, then we have a chance.
"They are quite a direct side, and very strong, so we will have to be on our mettle. We will have a game plan and part of that plan will be to try to win the game on our own patch. I don't really fancy a trip to Dover on a Tuesday night for a replay."
