Four teams that could cause a shock in League 1

Since Lee Johnson took over at Oldham Athletic in 2013, he has brought a sense of cohesion to the club by securing their League 1 status with a limited budget and relative ease. During the summer the club has secured a partnership with Sports Direct resulting in the company becoming their main kit supplier. As well as this, their stadium will be renamed SportsDirect.com Park. Fans will always know their stadium as Boundary Park but this partnership could be just the stability that allows the team to push on this season. Johnson has enjoyed a busy summer securing many attacking options for the new campaign. These include experienced forward Jonathan Forte, midfielder Mike Jones from Crawley Town and strikers Amari Morgan Smith and Willie Gros. The Latics have enjoyed a relatively positive pre season including a 2 – 1 win over Premier League Newcastle and will expect to start the season strongly having finished last season 10 games unbeaten.  A small squad with a young and hungry manager at the helm could be the recipe for a surprise promotion push in Manchester.
