Finish: 10th-12th
Player of Season: this is hard. Could well be someone we haven't signed yet. If we find a way to get the best out of tav it will be him, but i don't have faith in that happening in a 352/532. 
Surprise Package: Fry bouncing back and being our best defender. 
Top Goalscorer: Britt
Biggest concern: one injury in pretty much any position leads to us fielding a player with less than 30 senior appearances. The style of football. 

Win the League: Watford
Biggest surprise: Birmingham
Underachievers: bournemouth
Top Goalscorer: Andre gray

Happy with Transfer Business: Not right now, but could change. Definitely not happy that were entering the season with the squad we currently have, but appreciate that the window is open for a while yet.

Win the League: Watford
Biggest surprise: Stoke
Underachievers: Bournemouth

Happy with Transfer Business: Don't Know

I know it starts in 4 days but it's so hard answering this without our own transfer dealings being finalised and seeing what other teams do some of that is assuming we get the 4-5 players in I might have different answers come October.

Finish: mid-table (10-16)

Player of the season: Fletcher 

Surprise package: Marcus Browne (and fans will still make him their boo-boy, just like Johnson) 

Top goalscorer: Fletcher 

Biggest concern: lack of experience in squad, especially beyond first 11.

Win the league: Norwich 

Biggest surprise: Wycombe 

Underachievers: Bournemouth (anything less than promotion would count, and I suspect they will struggle more than Norwich with adapting).

Top goalscorer: Grabban (think Deeney will either move on to a prem club or lose form)  

Happy with transfer business? Not at the moment, but am reserving judgement until the window closes and any signings have time to establish themselves.

Finish: Top Half
Player of Season: Tavernier
Surprise Package: Dijksteel
Top Goalscorer: Fletcher
Biggest concern: Squad Depth

Win the League: Brentford
Biggest surprise: Preston
Underachievers: Derby
Top Goalscorer: Stipe Perica (signed from Udinese to Watford)

Happy with Transfer Business: No. Also mentioned that the club's scouting and recruitment need to be improved considerably, given our limited spending capacity. We shouldn't keep having to make last-minute signings, which leaves us having to bed in new players when the season starts.

Thought I'd bring this back to see how we all did haha. 

Pretty happy with my predicted finish and surprise package. Also think Tav would have been our player of the season but for the injuries. Everything else was pretty awful!
