Orlando City midfielder Will Johnson isn’t sure when this season went off the rails from a morale standpoint.
The Lions got off to a rough start but bounced back and won six consecutive matches. They followed that with nine consecutive losses – coach Jason Kreis was fired after the sixth loss of that streak – and haven’t been able to right the ship under new coach James O’Connor.
Johnson said there wasn’t one point in the season where morale turned around. It was a gradual process.
“It just kind of happens with results,” the 31-year-old veteran midfielder said before training on Tuesday.
