Javi Gracia worried about Leeds' form after defeat to Fulham

Leeds United lost 2-1 to Fulham to leave them looking nervously over their shoulders, firmly involved in a relegation battle. 

Javi Gracia speaking after the game expressed his concern for the recent downturn in results.

"I'm worried about everything. It's our third defeat in a row and we have to improve," Gracia told a news conference.

"The players have to recover their best levels because we play a very important game in three days."

Leeds, who host fellow strugglers Leicester City on Tuesday, sit two points above the relegation places after heavy defeats against Crystal Palace and Liverpool in the previous two games. 

"We were stronger defensively and had a better balance in some parts of the game but it wasn't enough. We have to find the balance we need to compete and to win the game," Gracia added.

In February, Leeds enjoyed an uptick in form under Gracia, winning three of his first six games. However, they've conceded 18 goals in five games in April, losing four.

 They must start to pick up results as soon as possible to avoid falling even deeper into the relegation mire.
