“I thought we played really well and I spoke earlier in the week about how our performance on Tuesday didn’t look like us.”
Argyle bounced back from Tuesday’s 4-1 defeat at Bristol City to record their biggest Championship win of the season thanks to goals from Morgan Whittaker (3) Dan Scarr, Finn Azaz and substitute Luke Cundle.
Ada Idah replied with two late goals for Norwich after they trailed 5-0.
Schumacher admitted: “It’s been a while since we had a performance like Tuesday and we felt we could do something about it.
“It wasn’t a hard fix really. It was just about putting in a bit more effort and obviously getting people in the right positions and doing the basics right.
“When we get that right as a team we always look a threat and so I was really pleased with the reaction from the lads.
“We knew that the speed that we have got up top would cause their centre backs problems.
“What pleased me the most was the understanding of what we were trying to do and then the execution of it was brilliant.
“We were thinking of going in at 2-0 at half time and all of a sudden we were going in at 4-0. That was a bit of a mad few minutes but it gives you that cushion.
“We spoke about having to concentrate because we know the quality they have got and if they got the first goal early then there would be 45 minutes for them to score three goals and they could easily do that.
“We said tick to the plan keep doing what we are doing and if we got another opportunity to counter attack try and take it.
“When we got the fifth goal it settled everybody down.”
“I am buzzing for Morgan. He’s obviously a huge player for us. Before today he had one goal and four assists. Now he’s got four goals so he’ll be pleased with his day’s work. I thought him and Finn Azaz today were outstanding.”
