Biggest surprises
For me I have a really good feeling about Gudmondsson. He has scored some awesome goals and I think he might just have the X factor. Pace, tricks and a wand of a left foot - I envision him as a mobile and pacy version of Ajdarevic/Reid and that excites me a lot.
Joe Gomez looks set to make his mark on the team this season and am positive he will be talked of as a future England star by anyone that watches him. We'll do well to get more than a season out of him as the big guns will come calling.
Goals Goals Goals - Contrary to pre season form, If we can get Delort alongside Vetokele, Big George, Moussa, Johann B Gud then I can see plenty of goals this season.
Potential disappointments
Callum Harriot has a big season ahead. How much longer can he be the "tricky youngster" about to break into the team. Undoubtedly talented but far too erratic for my liking.
Goalkeeping. This is my only real concern ahead of a long season. We've got a youngster who perhaps isn't yet ready to take the mantle as out #1 and we have a fairly highly rated other who has not played a great deal in his career thus far and has been happy to pick up a reported £20k a week as a number 2. Neither are really filling me with confidence so this might be an area that needs reviewing as the season progresses

Biggest Disappointment - We still won't beat Millwall
The other (Henderson) was on a reported £20k/week at West Ham
- Moussa, Henderson
Just guessing.
Disappointment will be Henderson and still not seeing solly as much
negatives.............the players on it.
Disappointment Henderson
I will also have a night of passion with Kelly Brooke.
Still trying to work out which one is the bigger surprise.
Biggest disappointment: Crashing out against a team we should beat.
- Buyens(looks off the pace so soon) Harriott (sorry fella) The login issue reoccuring on CL following a 0-4 defeat to Millwall.
- Solly (think he will miss more than he plays)
The other will be Tucudean again due to the lack of excitement/belief from the fanbase over his signing, again got a good feeling about him, as nearly all of us were pleased about Igor signing.
Dissapointment will be the usual going out of the cup to a beatable side i suspect.
The biggest disappointment will be if TBH (charmless mercenary) gets to play cos he makes those 4 look like Pele, Cruyff, Neeskens and Beckenbauer all rolled into one.
A right midfielder and a forward being listed as you'll be 'astonished if most teams don't roll right through us scoring for fun'? Do you expect them to play in defence?
Disappointment - A block sits down.
Biggest disappointment will be a piss poor home defeat to Rotherham.
Something like that.
In terms of players a surprise will be the number of games Lawrie Wilson chalks up as his consistency and reliability becomes indispensable as other events unfold.
A disappoint will be one of our pivotal players getting a long term injury.
A couple of certainties are that we will be getting a lot of red cards, and poor disciplinary returns next season. be warned now, I don't expect Brentford to finish with all 22 players on the field.
Another certainty is that our top three goals of the season will be the best in living memory.
I don't know why, and I hope I'm wrong, but I feel like Gudmundsson might be our biggest disappointment in his first season. Wingers tend to have spells where they do next to nothing and their heads can drop quickly. With a lack of cover at right mid he might be left in the firing line too long and struggle. I think he'll come good and I could well be wrong but I could see him not living up to the substantial hype.
Disappointments: Reza isn't any further away than Kuwait
Disappointment is seeing Yann score 25 in one season for Bournemouth.
For me surprises: Henderson - underrated when he came here I think he's one of the best players we have!
Gomez knew he'd be good but didn't think he'd end the season as first choice!
Disappointments: moussa- expected big things from him when he came! Injuries stopped him from showing it!
Harriott - hoped he would kick on from last year!
Wilson - thought he'd be a key player for us this year shame it didn't work out!
George surprised us all
