Bristol City have played some tremendous stuff this season and Gary Johnson´s in form side look a great bet with totesport at 11/10 to win the 2008 Championship play-off.

The Robins take on Hull City at Wembley on May 24th and are 15/8 to win the game in 90 minutes, but having the added security of extra time (and penalties if needs be) makes a greater appeal.

Wembley´s wide pitch will really suit the men from the West Country, who love to get the ball down on the deck. Anyone who saw the impressive fashion in which they came through their semi-final with Crystal Palace has to be further impressed with the pace and verve of their passing game.

Johnson deserves high praise for the way he has developed playmaker Lee Trundle into a footballer of genuine Premiership quality. Scouser Trundle has always had bags of ability but under Johnson he has shed a stone in weight and now has a determination and purpose to his game that he never showed at previous clubs.

His sublime left foot curling goal that effectively won the tie for the Robins will have Hull manager Phil Brown in concerned mood. That sort of skill is impossible to defend, as is the kind of free kick with which Michael McIndoe burst the back of the Palace net with to send them through.

Bristol also hold a psychological advantage over Hull having drawn away at the KC stadium last November and then beating them 2-1 at Ashton Gate in March. The Robins have sold their full ticket allocation and it would be no surprise to see the cider flowing freely as they raucously celebrate a return to the top flight after an absence of nearly 30 years.
