'All the positive aspects' - Respected football podcast tips title glory for Doncaster Rovers

The 'Not The Top 20' podcast, run by George Elek and Ali Maxwell, is ranked as the number one podcast concerning EFL clubs and has been running since 2016.

In their latest episode the pair ran through their predictions for the upcoming League Two campaign, going through each of the 24 clubs and giving detailed analysis of their summer transfers and where they think each will end up.

And for Grant McCann's side, the pair predict a bright campaign ahead.

Maxwell said: "Rovers are our first place pick. Donny finished fifth last season and what a rollercoaster it was to get there.

"They've been very quick, strong and bullish in the transfer market adding Billy Sharp, who will surely still be able to finish chances in a team that does create chances, Harry Clifton, Joe Sbarra and Jordan Gibson all add attacking quality in midfield areas. Tom Nixon is brought back and he's a nice versatile full-back. Sharman-Lowe is the goalkeeper to fill the gloves and I'm a little unsure of what to expect from him. That could be an area where they drop off.

"I'm a little worried about the centre-back depth. Richard Wood is amazing but he's very old. Tom Anderson is a very good player but he's very injury prone. That might be an area where I'd like to see one or two additions but overall I think Doncaster very clearly finished last season as the best team in League Two to not get promoted.

"They experienced a complete shift in energy and mindset and one that leads me to believe they're in the right position to challenge for the title. They have a great squad and a great manager and I think a strong style of play that has all the positive aspects of a really good, technical, skilful team that can build through the thirds but one that can also go long.

"I think they'll probably have a sturdier foundation than MK Dons who we have finishing second to them."

Rovers are currently third favourites for the title with Skybet, priced at 8/1. MK Dons are favourites at 13/2, with newly-promoted Chesterfield in at second at 7/1.
