Allan Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson have set the benchmark which their Newcastle United teammates must reach as the Eddie Howe era begins.
That is the verdict of United fans after rating all 22 players to feature so far in the Magpies' winless start to the campaign.
Howe will be aiming to record Newcastle's first win of the campaign at the 13th attempt when Brentford travel to St James' Park on Saturday afternoon.
The Magpies are already five points adrift of safety, and need to pick up points ahead of a daunting December schedule.
Graeme Jones earned two draws from his three-match interim spell, and the new head coach will almost certainly have to deliver in the upcoming home fixtures with the Bees, Norwich City and Burnley.
With almost a fully fit squad to choose from, fans are speculating over the starting eleven Howe will name in a bid to deliver that crucial first victory.
Supporters were invited to grade the players with scores out of 10 for their performances in the opening 12 fixtures, including the Carabao Cup penalty shootout exit to Burnley.
Given the fact Newcastle are in the midst of their worst ever start to a season, it perhaps is not a surprise to see the vast majority of the squad struggle to surpass a score of six. It also illustrates the scale of the task facing Howe in the remaining months of the season.
Wilson leads the way so far with an impressive return of 7.7, with the number nine bagging four goals in just seven appearances so far.
Strike partner Saint-Maximin was graded with a score of 7, and there was a sizeable gap to Isaac Hayden in third place with a rating of 5.7.
