FFA hopes to complete the remaining preliminary rounds in a "condensed period", in locked-out stadiums, in a bid to get the regular season finished before it is potentially shut down by the coronavirus.

But the governing body is yet to lock in the revamped fixture list beyond Monday, saying only: "We will continue to release the remaining fixtures on a rolling basis."

Of the five games confirmed, the Jets play twice: against Brisbane at CBus Stadium on Friday, then 72 hours later against Melbourne City at McDonald Jones Stadium on Monday.

Their remaining four games will be against Wellington, Central Coast, Sydney FC and Western United.

Newcastle are one of five clubs with six games left. Five other teams have five to play, and Sydney have seven.

Clubs have reportedly been told they could be playing every three or four days, but Robinson was confident his troops would cope with both the workload and uncertainty of the situation.

"We'll just try to get the schedule done as quickly and efficiently as we can," Robinson said.

"It's not ideal but we deal with it ... you can complain about anything if you want to.

"We don't complain about anything because we just accept it. We're not the decision-makers.

"When decisions are made you just have to accept it and move on.

"The boys will be prepared. They're recovered. As I said, it's not ideal but we deal with it and move forward."

Robinson said Newcastle's conditioning staff would make "a few little adjustments" to the program, given that Monday's game will be the Jets' third in eight days.

"Obviously when we're stepping across that white line the boys are just getting on with their job," he said.

"They don't complain about anything, which is refreshing.They just get on with their work. There are more important things at the moment, and this is a chance to take their minds off what's going on by playing the game that they love to do."

Unbeaten in their past six starts, the Jets have climbed to six points behind the top six.

"We're playing catch-up," Robinson said. "We know that. The boys are in a great vein of form. The individual and collective performances are very good quality.

"We've caught up a little bit. We're still in the mix, slightly, on the outside, looking in. But we have to win most games that we play in."

Should Newcastle manage to beat both Brisbane and City, they could be equal sixth by Monday, albeit with an unfavourable goal difference.

Given the hectic schedule, Robinson indicated he would be looking to add fresh legs to his starting team against City.

"The next two games a lot of the boys are going to play," he said. "If you don't play on Friday there's a chance you'll play on Monday."

Strike weapons Abdiel Arroyo and Bernie Ibini, who both missed last week's 3-0 win in Adelaide with niggling injuries, are both in the mix.

Robinson said Arroyo had been able to stretch out at training this week, while Ibini was "touch and go".

He said Irish playmaker Wes Hoolahan "came in and played very very well for 60 or 70 minutes in a very good team performance" against Adelaide, in his starting-team debut.

Welsh international midfielder Joe Ledley will also be hoping to more game time after his 21-minute A-League initiation off the bench.

"We've got options ... the form that we're in, we like to play with two forwards," Robinson said.

Jets striker Roy O'Donovan, who has scored goals in each of Newcastle's past three games, will no doubt be keen to extend his run against Brisbane, for whom he played 12 games before gaining a mid-season release.

The Jets flew to the Gold Coast on Thursday on a commercial airline and will return on Saturday.
