" Morgana and Merlin NOT fighting. Everyone expected a fight between the two for ages, and now it'll never happen." - consider it round one.

" Merlin being scared of the Saxons and cowering in fear, letting only Gwaine fight. Come on Merlin, take a sword and fight. Morgana did the same againist the knights of Camelot when you did that to her..." - He's always had his magic to back him up, which in turn made him feel more confident and not hopeless. With it gone however, he probably feels utterly incapable of fighting.
