Veljko Paunovic's message to his team following Saturday's loss in Colorado was very clear: the team’s mentality has to change.

“As I said after the game, nobody is happy with losing,” he told reporters via teleconference Monday. “Nobody is happy with the situation. It’s time to wake up from this mentality that we are in for a long time. I can say that everyone is working hard here and we want the best, but it’s not enough.”

Paunovic’s team is coming off a late 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night in Commerce City.
