Four years after promotion into League One, the Shrimps are back in non-league for the first time since 2007. Adams' players finished bottom of League Two, 13 points from safety, with the numbers telling their own story.

Morecambe had the division's worst tallies of defeats (30) and goals scored (40), in addition to the joint-fewest wins (10). They also conceded the second-highest number of goals with 72, beaten only by Newport County AFC (76).
