Javi Gracia's 'believe' message to Leeds United stars after form hits new low

Leeds United head coach Javi Gracia has claimed that his side must 'change their dynamic' for the four remaining games in their Premier League campaign to stay in the top-flight.

The Whites had their worst month on record in April, shipping 23 goals while only managing to score eight of their own meaning they broke their own unwanted record.

The 4-1 loss to Bournemouth saw ugly scenes at full-time, with travelling fans booing, jeering and chanting 'you're not fit to wear the shirt' towards Gracia's players, but the Spaniard has called for his men to rebound against Manchester City next week.

"You know, I don't like to speak much about our situation on the table or that but in this moment, we are not in relegation [zone] and of course we have now tough games and we have to work to be ready for that," Gracia said in his post-match press conference.

"We need to keep our mentality, try to believe that we can do it and above all, try to work hard these next days and try to prepare for the next game is the only way that I know to improve the situation.

"When I arrived the situation was even worse and now of course the last results are tough for all of us but we have to change the dynamic and we have four games to do it."

Leeds have just four matches left, with three of their opponents in the top six - those being Man City, Newcastle United and Tottenham on the final day of the season while their penultimate clash is against relegation rival West Ham.
