Reed relishing O's challenge

Leyton Orient loanee Adam Reed is relishing the prospect of helping Russell Slade's side up the League One table.

The midfielder, who joined from Sunderland on Thursday, tasted defeat on his debut as the O's were beaten 2-0 by Hartlepool at the weekend. "It was disappointing to lose on my debut but the lads played well, passed the ball about and luck just didn't go our way," he told the club's official website. "Maybe we didn't create as many chances as we should have done, but we worked hard - we have to get past this and move on. "When you go in at half-time 1-0 down you always believe you can get back in the game, but conceding another right before half-time makes it harder. "We still came out and tried to go for it, but it just wasn't our day."
