Cornthwaite’s Corner – Round 20

It’s pretty simple: Adelaide United has not reached their potential this season. That’s not to say there aren’t moments of quality, but in both penalty boxes, where it really matters, they are lacking. The defence has been a real issue...

Cornthwaite’s Corner: Winning is a habit, but so is losing

Rather than sound like a broken record this week, I thought I’d mix it up.  Anyone who’s ever grown up wanting to be a professional athlete has dreamt about scoring a last-minute screamer, saving a penalty, or lifting the trophy...

Cornthwaite’s Corner: Enough is enough

There’s a soft underbelly at Adelaide United this season. When things are going their way, they can be irresistible, but when things are going against them, they roll over too easily. It was a positive start on Saturday night for...

Well, as I said last week, at their best the Reds are more than capable of taking it to the competition’s best and on this occasion should have taken all three points. Other than the first 20 minutes, Adelaide not...

Cornthwaite’s Corner: A new year brings new optimism

It wasn’t a pretty end to 2023 for Adelaide United. Two wins in eight games doesn’t read well.  Again, there were some decent signs in the loss to Melbourne Victory that show United is still capable of going toe to...

Cornthwaite’s Corner: Merry Christmas, Reds fans!

Merry Christmas, Reds fans. The win against Newcastle was the perfect early gift, but I’m sure nothing would make you happier than three points in the Original Rivalry on Saturday night. This time of year, it’s difficult to keep track...

Cornthwaite’s Corner: Another week, another loss. They’re starting to stack up

For just the second time this season, we saw Carl Veart make some meaningful changes to his starting lineup off the back of three straight defeats. I think they were needed to not only try and shake things up but...
