The Wanderers have a prime opportunity to grab their first win of the domestic campaign against the Newcastle Jets on Saturday night at home but have hardly been in convincing form either side of their miraculous Asian Champions League triumph.

Heavy squad rotation, an exhaustive schedule and a raft of new players have all been cited as reasons for the Wanderers' poor start but Topor-Stanley said those inside the club were confident things would quickly get back on track.

"We know we can perform better and we're looking really to push for three points. We try to do that every weekend but unfortunately it hasn't turned out for us," he said before training on Friday morning at Parramatta Stadium. "That's fine, there's no panic buttons. We've still got the same mentality of winning and taking the game to them, so we'll be fine."

While Topor-Stanley acknowledged the rising public pressure on the Wanderers to get results, he said the team would only get them sticking to coach Tony Popovic's rigid game plan.

"There's people talking about pressure on us and that we need to start winning games – we've always wanted to win games and we've always wanted to put that pressure on ourselves," he said. "But we won't do anything different and as long as we play as hard as we can, and stick to our structure and discipline, it will fall for us. This is just another game we have to get three points from. We can't treat it any differently."

Being away with the Socceroos in Osaka meant the defender missed the defeat against Perth last Saturday and the scoreless draw with Central Coast three days later, although he watched both matches in the hotel.

"I streamed it online and it was frustrating to watch. I'm not a good spectator," he said. "I feel like I'm a bit helpless watching from the armchair and not being able to have an influence. It is a frustrating feeling, but that's life."

While the Wanderers managed to keep their first clean sheet of the season against the Mariners, Popovic said they needed to do more at the other end of the field.

"I think if you keep creating with the players that we have, I've got full belief we'll start scoring from those opportunities. We need to keep creating and if we do that than I'm sure it will turn around for us in front of goal," Popovic said.

"The cohesion will still take time, we're trying to bed in some new players that the more games they play, the more understanding they'll have and along the way that will get better. But we also need to pick up points as we improve that aspect."

Popovic said all of his players involved in Wednesday's match appeared to have to made a speedy recovery despite the short turnaround time.

"From what we've seen in the recovery session, they're in good spirits, their bodies have recovered quite well," he said. "[The last training session] will be the test, obviously, training on the pitch. We'll see how they are and if they all pull up well then they should all be available for selection."

The Jets have arguably been in even worse form than the Wanderers and their 4-0 defeat against Brisbane Roar at home means Popovic thinks they'll come out swinging at Parramatta.

"It will be a really tough game, they had a heavy defeat in their last outing at home, they'll come here really resilient and they'll want to get a result," he said. "Well have to be at our best to get the three points and with our home fans, I'm sure they can help us over the line and get that first win."
