Why did losing at the battle of edgehill force oliver cromwell to improve the roundhead army?

The Battle of Edgehill in October 1642 was the first major battle of the English Civil War, and the Roundhead forces, led by the Parliamentarians, suffered a setback against King Charles I's Royalists. This loss highlighted the need for better organization, discipline, and tactics within the Roundhead army. Recognizing these shortcomings, Oliver Cromwell focused on reforming the military by recruiting more skilled soldiers, implementing a more structured command hierarchy, and promoting the idea of a professional standing army. These improvements ultimately contributed to the Roundheads' eventual success in the war.
