The Wolves were completely outplayed at Albert Butler Park in a performance where, after the game, their coach put several of his players on notice.

With his side eighth on the NSW Men's NPL ladder, Wilkshire hopes his team will bounce back emphatically when they travel to Sydney United Sports Centre to face the Bulls on Monday.

"It's been obviously difficult with the weather conditions (this week) but we've done a bit of work tactically,'' Wilkshire said.

''We've spoken about last week's game and there will be changes. There's some younger boys who have been knocking on the door and performing. You might see a starting debut for Nicho Duarte.

"Last week simply wasn't good enough and we've acknowledged that.

''But we're still in a decent position, just outside the playoffs at the moment. But these are now must-win games, as simple as that."

The last time these sides met in March, Moudi Najjar's 91^st-minute goal from a set piece proved the difference as Northbridge claimed a 1-0 win at WIN Stadium.

Wilkshire hopes that there won't be a repeat of that moment.

"We'd like to think we learned from it, but we still conceding from set pieces - we copped two last week as well," he said.

"We've been working on at training this week and I definitely don't want to see it happen again."
