The forward-thinking Argyle boss also admitted "We’re getting there but there’s still plenty to work on."
Schumacher said: “It was a brilliant result and a really good performance. Right from the first whistle we were at it."
On-loan Aston Villa goalscoring midfielder Finn Azaz opend the scoring on 30 minutes before Ryan Hardie converted a 65th minute penalty as Argyle eased home.
Schumacher admitted: “We spoke on Thursday and Friday about us not starting the game well enough on Wednesday night against these.
“We sort of allowed them a little bit too much time and space on the ball.
“We looked at it, worked on it and felt if we could put some pressure on them early on, try and get the crowd behind us and play at a good tempo, especially in the heat, that would be hard for Peterborough to cope with… and it was.
“I felt we fully deserved our lead when we got it although I thought we should have scored earlier but you can’t be over critical because overall it was a really good performance.
“We couldn’t change the way we were going to play because we knew it was going to be hot.
“The game plan was spot on and the lads executed it and played really well.
“We caused them some problems and could have probably scored a couple more that wasn’t to be.
“When we get it right and play into those three attacking players it’s hard to stop. We’re getting there but there’s still plenty to work on.”
Fifth placed Argyle head into the Valley for a tricky encounter against Charlton Athletic tomorrow night (1945) before travelling to Gloucestershire to face newly promoted Forest Green Rovers on Saturday.
Argyle's next home league match is against Bolton Wanderers on Saturday August 27.
