We’re only four games into the MLS season and the Lions are still finding their feet. Orlando City permanently parted with 15 players from last season and brought in 14 new faces as James O’Connor took to rebuilding the squad in his first off-season in Central Florida, a recruitment drive that currently accounts for 52% of the roster.
After such a bad season, changes were obviously needed, but at such a drastic level, the outcomes can often be unpredictable. It can take time for the team to gel, for new players to form an understanding of their new teammates, and of a new coach’s style and philosophy.
