Results Round-Up <b>Two away games yielded a win and a loss as Saints set up a dramatic final day decider against Coventry City.</b><br /> <br /> <b>Peterborough 1-3 Saints</b><br /> <br /> A comfortable away performance at London Road saw Saints record a comfortable away victory. <br /> <br /> Billy Sharp scored twice early on to set Saints on our way. Two smart strikes from Sharp put the Posh onto the back-foot within the first ten minutes, firstly a header from close range gave us the advantage and a finish from an exquisite Adam Lallana pass doubled the lead.<br /> <br /> Jos Hooiveld converted from a corner mid-way through the second half and despite a Jason Lowe consolation, Peterborough http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/content.php?290-The-Run-In-Results-Round-Up http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/content.php?290-The-Run-In-Results-Round-Up Sat, 14 Apr 2012 14:21:00 +0100 Saints 1-3 Reading <b>Despite controlling large portions of the game we were made to pay for not taking our chances by a clinical Reading team who are now surely favourites to win the Championship.</b><br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=892&d=1334410024" id="attachment892" rel="Lightbox_0" ><img src="http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=892&d=1334410024" border="0" alt="Click image for larger version.  Name: De Ridder v Reading Apr 12.jpg  Views: 435  Size: 93.9 KB  ID: 892" class="thumbnail" style="float:CONFIG" /></a><br http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/content.php?289-Saints-1-3-Reading http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/content.php?289-Saints-1-3-Reading Thu, 12 Apr 2012 20:46:00 +0100 Crystal Palace 0-2 Saints <b>Saints made it four points from 6 over the Easter period to strengthen our standing in the Championship promotion places as the season draws to a close. </b><br /> <br /> In a game where Saints were rarely threatened Rickie Lambert gave us the opener with a trademark header at the far post from ex-Palace man Danny Butterfield's cross on 36 minutes. Lambert doubled our advantage in the second half after a powerful run from deep saw him elude the palace defender McCarthy before firing past the home 'keeper Julian Speroni.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=891&d=1334260847" id="attachment891" rel="Lightbox_0" ><img src="http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=891&d=1334260847" http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/content.php?287-Crystal-Palace-0-2-Saints http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/content.php?287-Crystal-Palace-0-2-Saints Thu, 12 Apr 2012 20:12:00 +0100 Saints 2-2 Skates <b>A late, late equaliser gave the Skates bragging rights over us..... Oh no, wait, they are still in the bottom 3 and we are top of the league, silly me! A pulsating local derby saw both sides emerge with honours even across this season.</b><br /> <br /> The tension in the crowd was utterly palpable before and during the game as Saints never quite hit top gear and two wonder strikes from our nearest and 'dearest' helped them emerge with a point.<br /> <br /> It was the Skates who carved out the first chance of note, Kelvin Etuhu firing a stinging drive at Kelvin Davis who comfortably paried the shot away. Our usual passing play was being stiffled by the Skates but patience brought it's reward after 27 minutes.

It was of course Keith Hill's Rochdale side who did the double over us during our last campaign. His Barnsley team did however succumb to a 1-0 home defeat to us back in August.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=884&d=1332283860" http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/content.php?284-Mid-March-Results-Round-Up http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/content.php?284-Mid-March-Results-Round-Up Tue, 06 Mar 2012 19:13:00 +0000 Saints 1-1 Ipswich, Full Time <b>Just when it looked as though the game was in the balance substitute Steve De Ridder crossed for Lambert to finish to put us ahead.
