Steven Schumacher speaks out on end of season run for Plymouth Argyle as exciting finish looms

Plymouth find themselves in an excellent position coming into the last seven games of the season, with the club currently sat in fourth place.

Argyle have 74 points to their name right now and are just two points behind MK Dons in third. Even further up the table, they’re only five points off second place, although Wigan have some games in hand on the Pilgrims.

They have steadily climbed into those top six spots and are now one of the firm favourites to land a place in those play-offs come the end of the season. Next up they face a tough contest against Ipswich, another side who will fancy their chances of sneaking into promotion contention, before an even bigger clash against Oxford.

However, they come into these games on the back of six straight victories in the third tier – and Steven Schumacher has admitted to the club’s official website that whilst the end of season fixtures will be hard, he is looking forward to them.

He said: “I think everyone can be quite pleased with how March has gone so far, six wins, six clean sheets on the bounce is an unbelievable
