PLYMOUTH ARGYLE "must do better" says Schumacher

Plymouth Argyle boss Steven Schumacher is hoping for a reaction from his promotion-chasing squad on Saturday following only their second home League defeat, 2-0 against Lincoln City.

Schumacher said: “The next game is a good one for us, away at Exeter, which is a huge game for us, so hopefully we can get a reaction out of the players.”

Mark Kennedy’s Lincoln countered to score through Olamide Shodipo on 28 minutes and then wrapped up the game with Ben House’s early second half strike.

Schumacher said: “We are second in the league with a game in hand on Sheffield Wednesday.

“There are six games to go and we know there are going to be twists and turns. I keep saying that every week.

“We have just got try and do better if we can and play better than we did (against Lincoln) taking our chances when we get them and make less errors. Otherwise you get punished.

“Obviously we are disappointed with the result.

“We didn’t show enough quality, we didn’t do enough to get back in the game.

“We are going to need more energy because I felt we looked a little bit tired.

“We started the game quite well. The first 20 minutes we played some good stuff, we were on the front foot and probably should have scored and taken the lead.

“But we didn’t.

“We missed a couple of chances and then got counter-attacked again from one of our corners, which is disappointing.

“Lincoln scored and probably from then on looked comfortable.

“To start the second half as badly as we did again and straight away give them the second goal.

“Once they go 2-0 up they really are a hard team to break down and we weren’t capable of doing that.

“We were up against a team that are really well organised, and dangerous on the break.

“Lincoln deserved to win, they were the better team on the day.”
