Schumacher said: “It’s a huge three points for us. It gives us seven points from our first five games in the Championship, we can all be quite pleased with that.”
Scottish striker Ryan Hardie took his tally to four goals in five league games with an opportunist 77th minute close range strike then won the aerial duel to tee up Luke Cundle’s sublime chip over keeper Aynsley Pears as promoted Argyle climbed to 10th.
Finn Azaz’s deflected 27th minute strike opened the scoring.
Schumacher said: “We go into the international break having got maximum points today, which is important.
“We have won the game probably without playing our best. We played better in our last two league games and on Tuesday night in the cup and haven’t got anything from those games.
“It’s a funny old game football. Blackburn were a really tough opponent and for us to get three points from it? It’s a huge win.
“I really like them. They are a good, well-organised, fit, young squad and have caused everyone they have played so far this season problems and they caused us problems.
“In the first half they had more energy than us and played with a better tempo. We were half a yard off them and they were the better team and we scored against the run of play.
“At half time we spoke about being a little more aggressive, we changed our press slightly and with the chances we created in the second half we were clinical, which – as everyone has seen so far – is hugely important in the Championship.”
