We're close to getting over that hump. We're willing to work more as a unit now. We just need to get a win.

I would say it's a weight off the shoulders of a lot of people around here. There's [been] a lot of nights and weekends they spend here away from their families and it creates a lot of stress and tension.

That's definitely encouraging that we've got all five starters and so many other players coming back. Everybody will be more experienced, more focused, and we all went through this together, so we know we won't go through this again.

No one wants to go home at this point. We're fighting to keep our season alive, and we'll come with everything we've got.

We just got to fight, take it practice by practice and game by game.

Bruce said he's going to be monitoring my every move. I've just got to work hard and keep improving and bring that to D.C. United. If I do that, Bruce is watching, and he might give me that last shot to go in and prove something.
