After being subjected to repeated charges and feigned retreats as well as arrowfire for nigh on eight hours (one of the longest battles in those days), you consider it "poorly disciplined" because it broke ranks once in the mistaken impression that the Normans were well and truly done for? And that was on top of having marched to York to defeat the Vikings (whose King had fought for the disciplined Byzantines) there and back again.
In any event, arguments about the nature of the Fyrd's training by assuming that it uses similar tactics to RW equivalents are somewhat misplaced IMO. The Orlanthi have access to flying and movement magics which will make some difference on the battlefield.
