Some very high highs, down to the lowest lows in these latest ratings.

Joelinton (8.0), man of the match, who’d have thought it?

If he had stuck that late chance away, which he should have done, when it was put on a plate for him by ASM, the Brazilian could have been moving into 9.something territory. Scoring and playing so well in his first Eddie Howe match, was something to behold, imagine if it had been two goals in this opening Howe game, compared to only six goals in his previous 79 PL appearances?

It would be a massive bonus if Joelinton could now continue in this kind of form he showed on Saturday, whilst if he can add even an average killer scoring touch, we could bizarrely have a real player on our side.

Allan Saint-Maximin (7.4) did really well and if others, especially Joelinton, had finished the opportunities he helped create, it would have been surely a far higher rating from fans. ASM had plenty shots of his own and they varied from high and wide to the smart finish when he did score, great to see him back to form after such a barren spell following five of the first six PL matches having a goal or assist in five of them.

Only three other players got a rating of 6.0 or higher, with Jonjo Shelvey (6.5) reminding us of what he can be capable of in terms of linking play going forward. A bit more movement and effort, Shelvey had a decent game, although wasn’t great in helping defensively. This is a start but he has to do far better, far more often, to justify a longer-term place in the team.

Callum Wilson (6.0) battled away and kept the Brentford defence on their toes with some unselfish work. Was unlucky to see an early header flash wide of the post from a Joelinton cross and then he couldn’t quite get enough power on a shot after a set-piece fell his way, Ivan Toney able to clear.

Off the bench for the final 20 minutes, it was good to see Ryan Fraser (6.1) more engaged than recently and he put in an excellent cross for ASM to rescue a point.

As for the rest of the players who were in the starting eleven, largely disappointing.

Karl Darlow has struggled since replacing Freddie Woodman this season and after arguably having been at fault for a number of goals, on Saturday he had a shocker, both the first and third goals saw the keeper really poor. A rating of only 2.2 from fans as he is surely now set to see Martin Dubravka come in.

The next two weakest NUFC starting players for fans, were Ciaran Clark (3.6) and Jamaal Lascelles (4.2), the pair of them leading charmed lives in having kept their places this season, despite really struggling, Saturday was no different.

Joe Willock (4.7) struggled to make an impact, whilst Jacob Murphy (5.0) did a bit going forward but was a major worry in defence. A similar story with Matt Ritchie (5.2) on the other side.

Fabian Schar (5.1) had a bit of a mixed game on his return, at times looking ok and especially when bringing the ball out of defence, not helped when it came to the defending having Clark and Lascelles alongside him.
