Year old lawn...why not as nice when it first came in?

I had my front law raked and hydroseeded last sprint. I also had an irrigation system installed. By the fall it looked great. It was dark green and full. However, it does not look as good now. It is lighter green and a lot of bare spots. I have a national lawn care company maintain the lawn. They came out the other day to fertilize. They told me the lawn was full of red thread and that the fertilizer would take care of it and the green would come back. My concern is with the the thickness of the grass. I don't understand how the lawn could have been so full last fall and now tons of bare spots. Will the grass fill in once the red thread is gone? If not what is the best way to bring it back? Topseeding in the fall? aerating in the fall? Topseeding seems like a lot of work since I have a fairly big front yard and the bare spots are small but everywhere. Any advice would be great. Thanks.
