They now head to Prenton Park to meet a Tranmere side similarly in need of a pick-me-up after losing 4-0 to Crawley Town in midweek.
Adams said: “There are no easy games, just because of the way the season has gone.

“It was an unbelievable start at Carlisle, to lose a goal after 25 seconds and the second after three minutes makes it so hard.”
While injuries and players in self-isolation have not helped, Morecambe’s defensive work has also hindered them.

“We have to defend better than we’ve been doing,” said Adams.
“If you look at the Cambridge and Crawley games (5-0 and 4-0 defeats), we’ve lost nine goals in those two games and that’s added to the goal difference.”

Hide AdMorecambe will again be without Harry Davis and Cole Stockton, both of whom return to training early next week after self-isolating.
The news is better for Alex Kenyon and Ryan Cooney, both of whom were named on the bench at Carlisle even if they weren’t able to feature .
“I put them on the bench to make it look a wee bit respectable,” Adams said.
“They are coming along and are training on Thursday.”
