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 Ca

Notts County defender Haydn Hollis wants to use the last two games of the League Two season to restore some pride before they head into the summer break. The Magpies will travel to Newport County this weekend before ending the campaign with a home clash against Carlisle United, who are managed by former Notts boss Keith Curle. Defeat against Cambridge United last Saturday was their third loss in a week, following on from losses to Mansfield Town and Barnet, and with neither promotion n

Notts County defender Haydn Hollis says he has worked harder than ever to get fit for the upcoming season and feels like the campaign will be one of the best ones the Magpies have had in recent years. The centre-back signed a one-year deal during the course of the summer, being one of only a handful of players from last season's campaign to be offered a new contract, but amid criticism about his distribution, he says he has ironed those flaws out and pledges to be more consistent. Holl

Haydn Hollis has claimed that going back to basics has helped him rediscover his form for Notts County. The 24-year-old came under criticism numerous times over the last year but he was a key player for the Magpies against Portsmouth and Luton Town. Asked about his performances over the last two games, Hollis told the Nottingham Post: "I think I've been good, but that's expected of me. "You've just got to head, kick it and just do the basics right. "That's what I've done - I'

Former Notts County defender Haydn Hollis has warned his Forest Green Rovers teammates not to switch off for a second in Saturday's League Two clash at the New Lawn as the Magpies "always score late goals". The 25-year-old came through the ranks at Meadow Lane and made upwards of 100 appearances for Notts between 2011 and 2018, but was moved on by Kevin Nolan in January as he linked up with former boss Mark Cooper in Nailsworth. Hollis was an unused substitute in the reverse fixture ba

Haydn Hollis has praised Notts County manager Kevin Nolan for giving him a lot of confidence and changing the mentality in the dressing room.
