Adams remaining upbeat

Port Vale boss Micky Adams refused to be downbeat after his side lost 1-0 at Burton and saw their six-match unbeaten run ended.The visitors piled the pressure on after falling behind to Jacques Maghoma's first-half goal and felt they should have had a penalty when Marc Richard's overhead kick appeared to hit a raised Burton arm.Adams refused to criticise referee Phil Crossley in the aftermath, though, but admitted he was unhappy with his side's defending that lead to Albion's winner.He said: "We conceded a sloppy goal in the first half, from a throw-in really, which was disappointing, but overall I thought two honest hard-working teams cancelled each other out."It's always frustrating when you lose, but nothing is decided with 19 games still to go. I've got an honest, hard-working bunch of players and our fans have gone away knowing we gave it a go."Records are always there to be broken and the best response we can make is to go on another run."
