Newcastle United fan, and message board regular Bryan Mulhall, gives us his player ratings from the weekend's home game with Charlton Athletic in the premiership. Newcastle won 3-1, but what did he think about individual and team performances?

Jimmy Walker

PLAYER RATINGS

Given: 8 Not much to do apart from 1 world-class save he had no right to get near.

Hughes: 6 Only lasted 45 minutes and didnt do much wrong.

O'Brien: 6 Looked dodgy at RB but who can blame him?Distrubution was poor.

Woodgate: 9 considering he's playing through the pain this was an amazing performance,the type we've come to expect from this rock of a centre-half. Showed great leadership qualities. New captain after Al?

Bernard: 8 Another great performance.how many times was he fouled and he got up and got on with it. Exellent going foward too.

Ambrose: 7 very promising performance.has a great work-rate. Dyer not missed.

Jenas: 8 for probaly the first time this season imposed himself on the game.Did well for his "goal".

Speed: 7 for once he didnt have to carry JJ. Protected back 4 well.

Robert: 8 great cross for Al but sometimes his usual frustrating self.As foir the peno,considering all the injustices we've had they even themselves out.I dont condone it though.

SHEARER: 10 Best performance from him in ages.On a par with his super-human performance v Fulham last October.I would be willing to do a deal with the devil to let this man-god play for 5 more years.

Ameobi: 8 Shearer-esque performance though not as good.Anyone who criticised this kid should be shot.

Team performance: 8
