Lamar Reynolds and Dan Holman could make their O’s debuts this afternoon
Leyton Orient fans will hope to get a first look at new signings Dan Holman and Lamar Reynolds when Boreham Wood visit Brisbane Road this afternoon.
Justin Edinburgh revealed after Monday’s goalless draw at Dagenham & Redbridge that the O’s were hoping to make two additions to the squad ahead of today’s encounter.
And the Orient head coach was true to his word with Holman officially joining the club on loan from Cheltenham Town on Wednesday.
A day later Reynolds’ loan move from Newport County was finalised and the pair will hope to be involved in the match day squad today.
