The Spaniard witnessed his team lose for the fourth time in five games; they will now play Manchester City.
Javi Gracia has acknowledged that something needs to change after Leeds' survival hopes were severely damaged by a humiliating 4-1 loss at Bournemouth.
Gracia seen his team lose for the fourth time in five games. Although they are still 16th in the Premier League, they have just one point to spare as they take on Manchester City and Newcastle over the next two weeks.
At the Vitality Stadium, Patrick Bamford's first-half header ultimately served as nothing more than a consolation. Illan Meslier, who is already under fire, was at fault for both Bournemouth goals, and the former Watford manager's tactical change to a 5-2-3 failed to bear fruit.
Of course, it is challenging to compete successfully and obtain the results we require if we continue to make the mistakes we do in every game. We must defend more consistently and attack more forcefully. It will be difficult for us to obtain the points we need if we don't do that," Gracia admitted.
"I don't like to talk much about our current circumstances, but we are not currently in the relegation (zone)."
Of course, we have challenging games ahead of us, so we must be prepared. We must maintain our attitude and work to believe that we can succeed.
Above all, work hard these upcoming days and focus on getting ready for the next game. I am aware of no other method to make things better.
"You know, when I got here, it was even worse, and now, of course, the last results are tough for all of us, but we've got four games to change this dynamic,"
A lackluster response from Gracia, who was only appointed by the board on February 21 in response to a question about whether he still had their support, followed a similarly defensive performance by his out-of-sorts team.
