SCHUMACHER targets 50 points at Cheltenham...

Steven Schumacher’s Plymouth Argyle returned to winning ways - and the League One summit - thanks to a 2-1 home win over basement side Morecambe.

Schumacher beamed: “To have 47 points before the halfway stage and top of the league going into Christmas Day everybody can be really pleased about that.

“We have got to go to Cheltenham now (on Boxing Day) and put in another good performance if we can, to try and get that 50 points at the halfway mark would be great.

“We just needed to focus on our result today. We did not need to bother about how Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday got on.

“We just needed to win the game, that was the most important thing.

“Morecambe have got Cole Stockton, who obviously scored loads of goals last season and is always a threat at the top end of the pitch and they have got good energy in midfield, when they break.

“I was disappointed we conceded to them, especially late on because it made everyone a bit more nervous for two minutes, but overall I thought we probably deserved the three points.

“I thought we played really well.

“First half we created some lovely chances and we played some real good football and looked a threat on both sides of the pitch.

“It was nice to have Danny Mayor back so we could attack down both sides.

“Unfortunately we didn’t manage to get an early goal.

“We had to be patient and thankfully we got over the line and got the three points, which is great.”
