τὰ καθ᾽ ὑμᾶς ἐλλείμματα, “your own shortcomings.” And at the same time (says Demosthenes) your new vigour will leave the generals no excuses: you will be able, when your objects are gained, to judge them on their merits, since you are so fond of judging. πικρῶς, “severely.” Very rare in a good sense.
