Amos admits the squad were left bitterly frustrated after the defeat in Galway as chances were missed while clinical Connacht took all on offer.
The team now has a break from action before facing Russia (November 16) ahead of a huge league encounter with Edinburgh at Rodney Parade on Sunday, November 25.
“Edinburgh at home will be a massive game - that is the one we are building towards now,” he said.
“Bernard (Jackman) said it after the game in the dressing room, it is going to be a big month November. We have three weeks now, with the Russia game too, to fine tune things. We need to hit the ground running.
“We can’t use the excuse that we are young or don’t have the players anymore. We have five forwards away with Wales plus Tyler (Morgan) and Ollie (Griffiths) could have been there.
“We have got international class across the team now, it comes down to us. We have the players, have the plans to put into place and we have just got to start winning.
“It’s been a tough couple of months, we haven’t got the wins we had hoped for,” he added. “It’s now about being the best we can be in training and making sure the intensity is there.
“We have enough old heads now. You saw Hibbs (Richard Hibbard) against Connacht, he chucks it around with the best of them.
“We’ve got to make sure that intensity is there and we are constantly improving. Hopefully we can start to finish those opportunities and stop gifting the opposition team points.”
Amos was pleased to see Dragons show character in the second half at Connacht – and got on the scoresheet along with young back row Taine Basham.
However, he concedes battling defeats are not what is demanded and the elusive away win must come soon.
“It was frustrating. We created a lot and made three clean line breaks in the first half in Connacht,” he said. “They weren’t really 50/50s they were 90/10s and we should have scored.
“They had four and scored all four - we didn’t score any. That was the difference at half-time and after that we are always chasing the game.
“We showed character second half, but that is not enough at this level.
“Fair play the coaches, ahead of the Connacht game they showed us the right way. Our attack structure was good, but we just couldn’t finish those opportunities.”
