The Pilgrims' boss has reflected on the penalty shoot-out success against Cheltenham Town in the Papa Johns Trophy semi-final.

On the balance of play we created the best chances and got done with a counter attack and a little bit of a mistake, so had to respond. There was times I felt it wasn't going to be our night." "It was a great move, Callum Wright with a lovely assist. Schumacher said: "That's there as well, we won't forget about that. "It's a brilliant achievement and the lads have worked so hard for it. "We had to work really hard to try and get back into the game. Thankfully, it was him that took it. I thought one of his saves in particular was outstanding." Schumacher said: "It's a brilliant feeling going to Wembley. Schumacher said: "Callum is a brilliant penalty stopper. "He has got a brilliant record in his career at stopping pens.

"When we get up to the second of April we will plan for that game. I'm glad it's over though, and just so glad to be in the final." "I don't think it (the final) will be a distraction. "To see the Green Army right behind the goal, whatever end we are, it's going to be something I will never forget. "I think the players performed really well. To be only the third manager of Argyle to lead their team out at Wembley is something I'm incredibly proud of. However, Schumacher said: "I actually felt really calm. It's going to be such a special occasion. "We have got 14 games left to go in the league and I'm sure if we get over the line with what we want to get to and want to achieve then the celebration will be 10 times as good as that. Schumacher said: "I think all our fans deserve it. "It's only the third time in the club's history so hopefully we go and enjoy it, and we put on a good performance and try and win the trophy."
