Former Socceroo Robbie Cornthwaite has blamed his lack of game time at Western Sydney on the inconsistency that has plagued the clubs sluggish start to the A-League season.While most of the weekly line-up news has centered around controversial striker Kerem Bulut, Cornthwaites inconspicuous absence has barely caused a ripple.After starting in defence for the opening month of the campaign, Cornthwaite hasnt seen a minute of game time, but hasnt gone searching for an explanation from coach Tony Popovic.Added to an extended squad for Fridays blockbuster against Melbourne City, the 31-year-old insists he knows precisely where he needs to improve.The key for me is putting in a 90-minute performance, he told AAP.A lot of the games Ive been very good for 45 minutes and then maybe in the other 45 I wasnt as good or just made a few silly mistakes I wouldnt usually make. Its about consistency.Cornthwaite was once considered one of the best defenders in the country following a strong three seasons in Adelaide between 2008-11 and then six years in Korea and Malaysia.But he admits it has taken time for him to adjust back to domestic football.Coming back to Australia after six years, there was a lot of areas I need to work on, my fitness in particular, he said.Obviously Poppas well known for doing things differently and it took me a little while to adapt. But the 4-5 months Ive been here, Im definitely going from strength to strength.Every player wants to play but Im absolutely loving being back in the A-League, loving the training under this coaching staff. Theres absolutely no frustration from my part, he said.Im happy to go to work everyday and work with this group of people.If chosen to play against City, Cornthwaite is well aware of the dangers proposed by feared duo Bruno Fornaroli and Tim Cahill, the latter of whom he played with on the global stage.However its the Uruguayan that he considers more difficult to defend.Hes been a revelation since coming to the league. Last year he had a fantastic year and hes more than backed it up so far, Cornthwaite said.If you go tight he can turn you, if you stay off him he can drill you. Youve got to really be on your toes and aware of what hes going to do and try and limit the damage he can do. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Womens Jersey .

David Montgomery Womens Jersey .C. -- Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Bobcats got off to a fast start, and the Sacramento Kings were never quite able to catch up. Brian Urlacher Youth Jersey . -- The plastic that was taped across the lockers in Oaklands clubhouse came down and the champagne that was on ice went back into the cooler. RICHMOND, Ky. -- Maty Mauk understands that second-guessing might accompany his second chance at Eastern Kentucky.But following a tumultuous junior season at Missouri, the quarterback is looking forward to a fresh start with the Colonels. Mauk was suspended three times in four months before being dismissed in January by new Tigers coach Barry Odom after a video surfaced on Twitter showing someone snorting a powdery white substance.Mauk denied he was the person snorting the substance in the video, which he said was made a couple of years ago. But Mauk acknowledged making a bad choice by being present when the substance was being snorted and is working to show hes living a clean life and has learned from the incident.I put myself in a situation that night and kind of acted like I did it, Mauk said in an interview with The Associated Press. It was one of those situations I wish I couldve taken myself out of, but I had to learn from it and havent been around anything like that for years now.Mauk said the first suspension came while he was dealing with his father Mikes cancer surgery last fall. He acknowledged doing things that merited disciplinary actions and said other behavior snowballed into more suspensions.As much as Mauk hurt for his father, Mike Mauk said he ached even more not being able to be there for his son during his ordeals.Matys struggle was worse for me because hes my son and I know he wasnt the man he was portrayed to be, said the elder Mauk, who has recovered and looks forward to coaching high school football in Springfield, Missouri.But Mike Mauk also believes Maty will benefit from his setbacks.You go through things to find out who you are and where you look to for faith and guidance, Mike said. Those things determine your character.First-year EKU head coach Mark Elder had a previous relationship with Mauk. He recruited the Kenton, Ohio, native heavily as a University of Cincinnati assistant. The relationship Elder developed with Mauk during the recruiting process leads the coach to believe the QBs recent troubles werent indicative of the person he is and notes that high-profile college athletes -- and young adults, for that matter -- make mistakes.I feel more than confident that (with) the mistakes that Maty has made, he is moving forward, Elder said.dddddddddddd Maty knows what my expectation levels are for him and what he needs to do.The coach anticipates Mauk, who went 17-5 as a starter in the Southeastern Conference and threw for 4,373 yards and 42 touchdowns from 2013-15, to compete for the starting QB position with incumbent Bennie Coney.Mauk isnt the first athlete to seek redemption at EKU.Noah Spence, a standout defensive end at Ohio State, transferred to EKU last year with a history of failed drug tests that led to his ban by the Big Ten Conference. Spence regrouped at EKU to become the Ohio Valley Conferences co-Defensive Player of the Year last season and a second-round NFL draft pick (39th overall) of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last spring.EKU athletic director Steve Lochmueller said the same support system that helped Spence thrive at EKU will also benefit Mauk.We believe in second chances under certain conditions, Lochmueller told the AP in a phone interview. We had a discussion and coach Elder and I decided that if Maty wanted to come here and resurrect his life and resurrect his career, then thats a good thing.Mauk knew he needed new surroundings after the upheaval for him and the Missouri program.His African-American teammates at Missouri threatened a boycott last November to protest the schools handling of racial and student welfare issues. Tigers coach Gary Pinkel stepped down soon after to battle cancer as well, and their 3-0 start dissolved into a 5-7 finish and no bowl game.Mauk explored other options after his dismissal before Elder reached out to him this spring with an opportunity he jumped on after graduating from Missouri. His late arrival in May has meant a crash course of learning the playbook and getting to know his teammates, but it all seems worth it as the QB tries to show the EKU community and others that this Mauk version is better and smarter -- on and off the field.I want them to see that Ive learned from my mistakes, Mauk said. Ive matured and Im a hard-working guy thats going to do whatever it takes to win a national championship here and land in the NFL. ' ' '
