The 49-year-old revealed goalkeeper Stuart Moore had been getting specialist training this week after gifting Doncaster and Newport the decisive goals in their last two defeats.
Harry Burgoyne replaced Moore between the posts for Tuesday鈥檚 cup win.
鈥淭hose two have been fighting since the start and will continue to do that," Adams added.
鈥淪tuart鈥檚 working on his feet - getting back to basics and improving. He needs to learn. It doesn鈥檛 just happen, it happens because you have not done well enough.
鈥淵ou can make excuses, and that鈥檚 a problem in life, we all make excuses about something - we have to cut that out and become better.鈥

Morecambe have lost to four of the top five in the fledgling League Two table and Adams said it was a long season.
"The players are positive. We have competed exceptionally well against them," he said.

鈥淲e will go to Crewe and try and win the game and move ourselves into a better position. As long as we (perform) as we have done, the other side of the game will come along nicely.鈥
