WALES' chief tormentor Craig Bellamy has reminded his international team-mates they still have plenty to do before Euro 2004 qualification is achieved.
Mark Hughes' men's flying start to Group Nine sees them top with nine points from three games - but Newcastle United star Bellamy insists Wales must stay focused.
"We've done superbly well to be in this position," said the 23-year-old striker. "But everyone knows we are still far from qualifying for the finals."
Bellamy will be in Hughes' squad, which he'll name today, for the forthcoming double-header with Azerbaijan at the Millennium Stadium on March 29 and the visit to Serbia & Montenegro (former Yugoslavia) four days later.
"We need to go into the summer break still unbeaten," added Bellamy. "People think Azerbaijan will be easy but there are no mugs in international football any more."
Hughes will be without injured Aszton Villa defender Mark Delaney and Cardiff City centre-half Daniel Gabbidon. City's Rhys Weston, is also doubtful.
