Wales now face Finland and Germany at home and if we are to maintain a challenge they are both games we have to win.
"When the draw came out we knew we would have three chances in terms of qualifying," John Toshack said.
"They were Russia away where we did as well as we could and lost right at the end, Germany away where we have only been beaten by one goal, but the third chance is our home games.
"I wouldn't say it was our last chance, but we can't afford to lose them.
"We came here to play in a certain way, even if we didn't get forward as much as we would have liked in the first half," added Toshack.
"They had chances, but I thought we contained them well. But the way they set up with their four in midfield they can all hit them from 25 yards out and so it proved. We had restricted them in the first half but maybe we tired a little bit.
"We couldn't ask for much more from them.
"It's probably a measure of how far we've come that we're disappointed at losing 1-0 away in Germany."
