Pundits covering the EFL have all returned similar conclusions on where Bristol Rovers will finish in League One as the new season nears.
Joey Barton's side get their campaign underway against fellow promoted side Forest Green Rovers on Saturday, and the Gas will be confident they can start the season on the front foot with momentum on their side after their phenomenal promotion push.
That is not going to translate into a similarly thrilling campaign, according to pundits delivering their 1-24 predictions on the eve of the season. However, a consensus has emerged that at this stage – with several signings still wanted by the manager – Rovers have enough resources to consolidate their place in League One in the year ahead.
