Chris Moore said that Hanwell Town "let the club down" in the second half of their 3-0 defeat against Dorchester Town.
The Geordies were level at the break in Dorset, but conceded to Jordan Ngalo and twice to Charlie Gunson as their inconsistent patch continues.
Moore said that the players would now be brought in to train before Wednesday's clash with Truro City as they had not earned the time off.
Speaking to club media, he said: "The first half was pretty even, we changed our shape because they were hurting us a little bit and we were being overrun.
"We changed the shape and probably had the better of the first half, but the second half performance was unacceptable.
"The boys know that, they have really let themselves and the club down today, because we set high standards here and that fell well well below the standards.
"There will definitely be changes and we are in training now, we would have been off until Wednesday, but we are in now.
"We are training because I am not accepting that, like I said it is below our standards and they will certainly know that when we train on Monday."
The second half also saw both teams reduced to ten men, with Adam Lareef and Matt Neale both being sent off, and whilst Moore said the refereeing performance did not determine the outcome of the game, he was not pleased with the official's decisions.
He said: "He [Lareef] has been unlucky there, it didn't even look like a foul let alone a yellow card.
"The referee was poor; you know that the referee was poor when both sides weren't very happy with him.
"But the referee is nothing to do with the result, he was poor, but we were worse than him."
