Bristol City may have finished a challenging 2021/22 with a flourish but Nigel Pearson’s side are not being backed by bookmakers to make an impact in the Championship next season with the Robins priced at 40/1 and only Rotherham United possessing longer odds.
City won three and drew two of their final six matches to reach 55 points - exceeding their total from the previous campaign - and after a few concerns, a healthy 18 points above the bottom three in the division.
An important summer awaits with Pearson keen to enhance his squad and put City in the best possible position to climb further up the standings following what has been widely regarded as a transitional campaign.
