- Anton Stach holds hands up with impassioned message to Leeds United fans
Anton Stach has vowed to get back to his best amid Leeds United's recent drop off in form.
Leeds were beaten 2-0 by Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
It was another tough afternoon for Daniel Farke's side, who were unable to find their rhythm on the South Coast.

That loss makes it just one win in nine matches in all competitions for the Whites, who have slipped into the bottom half of the Premier League.
Stach played 25 minutes of the clash with Bournemouth but could not make the impact desired.
The Germany international has not been at his best of late, which he has himself now acknowledged.
What has Anton Stach said after Leeds loss vs Bournemouth?
Stach has started seven top-flight matches for Leeds this campaign, while featuring from the bench twice, but has just one direct goal involvement.
That was an assist in Leeds' win at Nottingham Forest on the opening weekend.

Farke could do with the 27-year-old, and indeed many of his teammates, getting back to his best.
In a message posted via his personal Instagram story on Sunday evening, Stach said: "Difficult periods test you in a way people will never see.
"But I know what I'm working for, and I'll keep pushing until I'm back where I belong."

Words are only so much, of course, but it is at least nice to see players hold their hands up and accept more is required.

The former Hoffenheim ace has by no means had a poor season. In fact, Stach has been one of Leeds' better performers over the campaign .
Taking a number of metrics into the equation, WhoScored has the midfielder down as Leeds' fourth-best performer this campaign.
James Trafford, who was at fault for Bournemouth's opener this weekend, is next on the list.
In second place is James Justin, meanwhile, leading to calls for an England call-up.
Tarik Muharemovic is in top spot, rightly so, and holds claim to being one of the best summer signings anywhere in the Premier League.
Muharemovic can hold his head high, but too many Leeds players have been slightly off it in recent weeks and that is now showing.
