Bristol City
Bristol City and Peterborough
The same logic supporting Wolves as probably League One champions can be applied to both Bristol City and Peterborough. Both Sean O’Driscoll and Darren Ferguson are experienced in taking clubs up from League One (Doncaster and Peterborough respectively) with less money than they’ll have with their current clubs. Bristol City are a bigger and richer club than Doncaster, while Peterborough have just sold Dwight Gayle for £4.5m.
But backing each for promotion has the same problems as backing Wolves. Additions for Peterborough have so far been relatively thin on the ground. Posh have only made two additions – making the loan of Jack Payne permanent and adding teenage goalkeeper Charlie Horton to the squad.
Bristol City have been relatively busy, signing former England squad member Frank Fielding, Swindon’s Aden Flint, Arsenal product Jay Emmanuel Thomas and Scott Wagstaff, instrumental in Charlton’s title win two years ago. At the time of writing they also have Cheltenham playmaker Marlon Pack on trial, the kind of technical player O’Driscoll’s Bournemouth and Doncaster teams were built around.
Peterborough may not need many additions – a common comment last season was that they were an entertaining and creative side, but lacking an end product for most of the season. Strong form in the second half of the season, collecting 11 wins and eight draws from the last 25 league games, saw them miss out on safety by one point, so the same squad may be enough to take them back up.
