What valid excuesses (or not) can we give for players poor performances this season?

Lennon - out of position and getting heavily marked, as well as playing a lot of games.

Could be that some of the players are struggling to cope with the high expectations of the fans?? After last season the club has made it clear that not being in Europe next season is unacceptable. I wonder if some of the players can not handle the pressure

We`ve played a lot more games this time round because of the cup runs. It`s a new experience for many of our players, I think they will learn from it and be stronger next time.

Defoe, minimal chances to impress except 20 min bursts.

heavily marked (re:Lennon) isnt an excusable reason for poor form.

Too many games I'd say. We're not used to it! Injuries to the defence in the latter part of the season hasn't helped. I don't know what 'excuses' you can give for us leaking so many goals though - clearly this is our main problem & it doesn't seem to be improving. It's not rocket science - mark the opponents, close them down quicker, don't play so deep, jump higher & win headers. Job done.
