Adams saw his side produce another solid performance to beat Bradford at the Mazuma Stadium, with goals from Liam McAlinden and Cole Stockton, but wins for Bolton and Cambridge saw their dreams of a top-three finish come to an end.
The Shrimps’ manager said: “We have to be proud of what we have achieved. To finish fourth in the league with 23 wins and 78 points is a great achievement.
“It’s been a fantastic season and it isn’t over yet. The players have put in some terrific performances and put on some good shows and we have the play-offs to look forward to.
“We have come up against teams in this division that have spent a lot more money than us, but it is not just about that. It’s about spirit, organisation and the ability to score goals and not concede and we showed those qualities today.
