Haydn Hollis describes current state of affairs at Notts County as "horrible"

Notts County defender Haydn Hollis has admitted the atmosphere in his side's dressing room was "horrible" after their 2-1 defeat at home to Cambridge United.

The U's sealed what turned out to be a comfortable win as Shaun Derry secured a league double against the club which sacked him as manager in March last year.

Hollis said: "The atmosphere in the dressing room is not good. The lads in there want to win, but we just can't do it.

"The most frustrating aspect of it all is that Cambridge aren't 10 times better than us.

"That should be us in their position, but it's not because for some reason we can't win games and we concede goals.

"We've got two games left now and we just want to do our best and show a little bit of pride.

"We've made mistakes but you have a chance to go and put it right a couple of days or a week later.

"There's not an easy game in this league whether it be at the top or at the bottom. We've got Carlisle to come and Keith Curle, another former Notts manager, is going to want to come and beat us.

"It's horrible at the moment."
