No room for error, bellows Bale

Gareth Bale has called on Wales to get their Euro 2012 qualifying bid back on track following their 1-0 defeat in Montenegro. The Tottenham winger, 21, admits that Wales simply cannot afford another slip-up at home to Bulgaria next month as they hope to end their 52-year wait to reach a major finals.Bale told The News of the World: "It's really disappointing for us and we have to put this right."This means we have to beat Bulgaria at home if we are to stay in the mix in this group. That's now really a must-win game for us at home. There can be no excuses and it's now or never."We don't want to be out of contention early on yet again."Of course, this result makes it more difficult for us to qualify. But we still believe we have the players who can make an impact on the group.Meanwhile, skipper Craig Bellamy admits that John Toshack's side must get something from their double header against Bulgaria and Switzerland next month to get their campaign back on track.Toshack's own position as manager is also coming under the spotlight for the first time in his six years at the helm.Bellamy said: "It's not the way we wanted to start the group."But I have experienced this a number of times, starting with a defeat. It means the next game is a really big one, one of those must-win matches."We can talk about one or two things that happened out there, but in the end we have finished without a point from our first game in the group again . and it is something we have to handle."It's familiar territory; we have been down this road before. To start a set of qualifiers with a winning start really gives you confidence for the rest of the group matches."
