Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch believes that his side were unfortunate not to come away with at least a point after losing 1-0 in his first game in charge away at Leicester City on Saturday.
After a goalless first half, the deadlock was broken in the 67th minute when a neat one-two between Harvey Barnes and Kelechi Iheanacho resulted in the former placing his right-footed strike into the far corner.
Leeds certainly had the lion's share of chances on goal, boasting 19 shots compared to Leicester's seven; however, the visitors lacked a clinical edge in the final third, with only four of their strikes on target.
Speaking to BT Sport in his post-match interview, March was proud of his team's performance having only worked with the squad for a few days and believes they have to 'stay clear to their process' despite the 'stressful' situation they find themselves in at the wrong end of the table.
"I have a fresh perspective and I look at the faces on our team and they're obviously disappointed because they know they played well," the American said.
"They know they deserved a result today but after four days to have changed a lot of the tactics and to have played in all phases of the game with clarity, to be very stable in the back, to give not much a way, to control the game from for many stretches, specifically the beginning of the second half. I'm really proud and pleased of our group, how far in four or five days we've come.
"There's so many little things that I see in the match that's happening that I know we need to clarify and continue to get better with and we will."
Marsch added: "I understand that there is stress here because the points are so important right now. But we have to stay clear. We have to stay clear to our process and it has to be a condensed process, but we have to keep understanding how we how we want to play and maintain a clear, fresh mindset that helps us grow and get better every day.
"It's a shame that our sport is not always so fair, but to play so well. And to come to a tough place to play and perform like that. It doesn't feel right that we that we didn't get what we think we deserve. But that's sport and that's what we have to deal with. A big first step for us."
Leeds have now lost five games in a row, as well as six of their last seven in the Premier League, and they remain two points above the relegation zone, having played at least a game more than all four teams below them.
Marsch will now prepare for his first game at Elland Road when Leeds play host to Aston Villa on Thursday night.
