Realistic Schumacher delighted with Wednesday result

Plymouth Argyle boss Steven Schumacher was philosophical following the greens’ 3-0 home Championship win over basement side Sheffield Wednesday.

Schumacher said: “Obviously delighted with the result that is the all-important thing. We have played loads better the majority of this season and not won or got anything from the game.”

Goals from Mustapha Bundu, player of the match Morgan Whittaker and top scorer Ryan Hardie, now with six, ensured Argyle moved up to 18th with their fourth home win.

Schumacher admitted: “I didn’t feel as though we passed the ball anywhere near as well as we have.

“That’s probably credit to the opposition. I thought Sheffield Wednesday were really good, especially in the first half but we were clinical with our two chances late on (in the first half) and somehow managed to get ourselves into a 2-0 lead.

“It gave us something to hold on to and build from in the second half and I thought we were professional, and we did well. I am just delighted to have three points.

“I was expecting Morgan to take the free kick but thankfully he didn’t Mustapha stepped up and smashed it in off the crossbar.

“The goal came at a really good time for us because we had struggled through the first period and I am thinking of what to say at half time.

“Then your team talk slightly changes because suddenly we are 2-0 up.

“We have to take it. It’s one of them, we can definitely play better than that but we take it going in 2-0 up at half time.

“To get a 3-0 victory and a clean sheet at home is the main thing and we are buzzing with it.”
