Adams: No Wembley thoughts

Tranmere closed in on a Wembley date after their 2-1 JPT win over Bury - but boss Micky Adams would not even entertain such a prospect.

Adams' men came from behind to beat their fellow Sky Bet League Two opponents, scoring twice in 88 first-half seconds just before the half-time interval to send them into the Northern Area semi-finals. Nathan Cameron had volleyed Bury ahead 35 minutes in but the travelling support was soon singing about a Wembley final after Max Power's free-kick and Danny Johnson's first senior goal turned the game on its head. Adams insists notions about reaching the final in March will not even enter his head, with the club still occupying a spot in the bottom two and yet to win a league game under their current boss. "I keep saying it - we're not that good," said Adams, whose side have won their past two cup games after three league draws. "If we get carried away with ourselves then we will come back down to earth with a bang. "We're on a nice little unbeaten run at the minute but the unfortunate thing is we've won both of our last two games and they've both been cup games. "Would I swap them for six league points? The answer is yes. "You can only beat what's in front of you and we've done that. We'll enjoy it but we know we've got a really big game on Saturday against the league leaders; that's as tough as it gets. "If we show the same sort of effort, commitment and desire we've shown that will take us a long way. I'm not saying we're going to beat Luton but if we continue in the same vein and work as hard as we can we're going to win more than we lose, I'm certain of that." Adams also claimed Rovers were the benefactors of luck on the night, particularly when it came to the second goal as Andrew Tutte remained down injured when Johnson stroked in from close range. "I was sat on the bench shouting 'play it out' when they had the ball," Adams conceded. "But obviously they didn't kick it out when they had the opportunity so I've got no complaints about the fact we carried on even though he was down. I'm pleased for DJ; it's his first goal for the club and that will give him confidence." The visitors offered little attacking threat in the second period but their shape was good and, when the defence was breached, goalkeeper Peter Brezovan was twice on hand to thwart on-loan striker Hallam Hope. "We've had a lot of chances to win this football match and it's cost us," said Shakers boss David Flitcroft. "The two minutes of madness cost us but then we've had a real reply to come back and try and break down a very stubborn Tranmere team. "We couldn't break them down and we've got to come up with another way; there was maybe too much intricacy at times and that's something we'll look at. "They've got 10 outfield players camped in the final third but we've given them that hope, we gave them something to hold on to and you can't do that. They've got to came at you if they're on level terms but they weren't."
