Turf not looking good

I'm a garden novice, I laid a new lawn from turf in March this year, it bedded in well and grew well through the summer. I gave it the final cut for the year in October and noticed a couple of spots were a little brown at the root. Recently I have noticed that some of the blades of grass are yellowing and when you pull back the grass it's quite brown at the root all over the turf. The ground isn't overly wet so don't think it's that, would just like some advice on whether it could be a parasite or soil ph etc...

    sorry if I wasn't so clear when I move the longer blades back to see towards the root the bottom of the grass is very brown by the root with quite a bit of soil , it's definitely rooted as I say was fine all through the summer, will try link the pics again sorry on my phone so might not be working properly.



    I haven't spotted any leatherjackets but will have a good look!!, do they leave any particular burrow holes etc.. I had noticed a lot of what I thought was earthworm mounds
