Morecambe's loss reflected their campaign

The already-relegated Shrimps were beaten 2-1 at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium, having looked set to end the season on a positive note when Max Taylor gave them a 13th-minute lead.

However, defensive mishaps contributed to the visitors scoring two goals in as many minutes to take the three points.

It also meant Morecambe ended the season with their worst EFL points haul of 36 as they eventually finished the campaign 13 adrift of safety.

Adams said: “The game was the story of our season in many ways.

“We had a lot of possession and plenty of opportunities on the day, which we should have done better with, but gave away two really sloppy goals and struggled to create much after.

“I’ve said the same thing far too many times this season. We haven’t defended well enough when we have been on top in games and not taken our chances when we have had them.

“The second half was attack after attack but we haven’t been good enough to get the ball in the back of the net.

“We had some really good chances but didn’t have the quality we needed to get the ball over the line.

“It summed up our season right at the end when we got ourselves into a great position in their 18-yard box – and we turned back and tried to find another pass.

“That showed why we haven’t been as prolific as we should have been in front of goal.”
