All I can think of, is maybe he means Lee will be a disappointment to those who write him off all the time and hence (I guess?) want him to fail. That's a stretch though, I think maybe it was just a mistake.

It's your prediction! I find it strange that you think he will do well yet you think he will be a disapointment.

Lol! That's a good way to put it.
