Terry knows anything less than a victory against the side ranked 110th in the world will leave England with a mountain to climb in their bid to qualify for Austria and Switzerland in 12 months' time.

Terry said: "This is my crucial game as captain. Coming here to Estonia is a must-win game - not only this one but the many games after this, are must win."

The weekend results of the other main group challengers have increased the pressure on events in Tallinn with England now five points adrift of leaders Croatia and also trailing Israel and Russia.

But Terry believes the encouraging performance in the 1-1 draw against Brazil at the new Wembley was a step in the right article although he concedes England are still not the finished article.

He added: "We need to come here and pick up three points and I think we need to win every game from now on. With results the other day not going our way, we need to make sure we are doing our bit and the least we can do is win.

"I think we have got to build on the Brazilian game. It was a step in the right direction. That is something we have been looking for. But we are still a long way from where we want to be and where our targets are. Our targets are to make it to the Euro 2008 finals."

Terry has urged the England fans to be patient if they fail to make an early breakthrough against Estonia who have lost all six of their qualifiers without scoring a single goal.

Many of the England supporters turned on McClaren and his players during the last qualifier against Andorra in Barcelona in March even though England came away with a 3-0 win.

Terry said: "It is important the fans stay patient if we don't score an early goal. It is vital. Andorra sat behind the ball and made it difficult for us."
