The Shots were paired with the Southern League division one (west) side after they surprisingly beat Conference side Canvey Island 2-1 in Tuesday night's replay — this, despite going a goal down and playing with ten men.
But despite facing another potential banana skin, Brown is delighted with the result and confident of reaching round two.
He said: “It was a fantastic game, Burnham did extremely well to come back and beat Canvey.
It's pleasing for us as it's more local, we haven't got to go to Essex and in the last few games Canvey has been a nightmare for us.
“Burnham have got a new stadium with a great pitch which is important for us and there can be no excuses if we don't win this. The one thing is that they are the most physical side I have ever seen, so the forwards I play will have to be prepared for that,” added Brown.
Before that FA Cup tie, and a potential £16,000 winging its way to the Recreation Ground, Brown must concentrate on the League action this weekend with a trip to Scarborough.
