This time last season, Orlando City was in the middle of a hot start to the 2017 season. Everything seemed to be going in the right direction, and then it all came crashing down. We do not need to rehash that fall from grace right now, but we do need to try to remember that euphoric feeling we all had while the club was riding high in the Eastern Conference. Fast forward to today, and the club has had the exact opposite start. Now do you see why I asked you to remember the euphoria?
Personnel issues have most likely led the the team’s slow start, and by personnel issues I am referring to the litany of injuries, late arrivals, and match fitness issues that the club began the season with.
