Morecambe manager Sammy McIlroy has said he will address his team's defensive problems in the summer.

McIlroy saw his side's faint play-off hopes suffer a major blow with a 1-1 draw with Shrewsbury on Tuesday.

"We need to learn, and unfortunately we're not learning," McIlroy told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"I'm going to have to do something to make sure we improve and I hope everyone at the club realises what we have to do."

We've been giving away soft goals no matter who I play in certain areas

He added: "We should score to kill the game off. We don't and then concede a shocking goal at the end. This has been happening for the majority of the season.

"We've been giving away soft goals no matter who I play in certain areas.

"It's been a great first season for us but at the end of the day that's why we're not in the play-offs."
