Romania v Qantas Socceroos
Wednesday 6 February 2013
Estadio Ciudad de Malaga, Malaga, Spain
Kick-off: 9:00pm CET (7:00am AEDT)
Not a bad squad great to see Leckie there!

I would love to know the reason why Herd isn't in the squad. Surely Holger doesn't rate Neill's form in UAE over Herd's in the EPL. There has to be more to it.

Cornthwaite, good on him. Made the most of his opportunities and now he's getting regular call ups.

Cornthwaite scores his 3rd goal in 6 NT games. But it's not enough as Romania come back from 2-1 down to snag a 3-2 victory. On the balance of play, probably deserved.

Leckie gets a run in the last few minutes.

Still a bit of dead weight in the team. Neill & Broqsue don't cut in anymore.

3-2 a fair result considering we started with 9 men!
Disappointed to see us conceed two with Flakes and Williams at the back. I really wanted to see us tighten up without Neill.

Cornthwaite's original 2 year contract with Chunnam ends next month, does anyone know if he has re-signed with them or anyone else?

If he was free, would you have him back in a reds shirt?

From what I hear he is a fairly regular starter for them and considering they just made a fair bit of coin out of the transfer market this window I would be very surprised if they don't re-sign him.

Would have him back in a heartbeat. But the guy never really excelled here. The move was definitely beneficial for him personally.
