It was a first 0-0 draw of the season for Carlisle United as they shared the spoils with play-off rivals Newport County.

The Blues put in a positive performance at Rodney Parade but couldn't grab all three points.

Here's what some of the United faithful made of it.

Good performance. Deserved to win. Newport players should be ashamed for the amount of diving and playing for fouls. Only one team deserved to win and it wasn't the Welsh. (@scholes_peter)

Really good tonight. Felt like watching the pre-Covid Carlisle. Great work rate & energy & played some good stuff. Defence were solid, Devine looked composed, Guy back to his best & Zanzala & Patrick a handful all night. Better passing & crossing - just needed that cutting edge. (@BackoSkiddaw)

Performed very well. Guy was the stand out performance (again) for me. Defence is getting to pre-Xmas levels; if the attack can follow then the top seven could be achievable. (@f_analytics)

It was an excellent performance. I would have taken a draw at the beginning of the night. But well played the blues. (@Playbytherulz)

Big miss by McDonald 1st half and Zanzala 2nd half, point will have to do. (@stansanczuk)

An excellent effort but we needed the win tonight. Still an outside chance of the play-offs though (@Glass942)

Cannot fault the drive or commitment of the entire team. To a man they all worked their socks off and IMO deserved the win. (@tracy_sturgess)

Solid display, just lacked the end product. Keep up that level of performance for the next 6 games and we’ve every chance of making the top 7 (@DRNoble25)

Thought that was a really solid performance. They offered very little which is a credit to how we played. Yes we could have nicked 3 points but all things considered that is a decent point for me. McDonald and Hayden were excellent. Win the home games and we won't be far off.... (@BenJoseph0157)

Deserved to come away with all three points. Seems strange that it feels like two dropped given the way we played, however with tonight's results everything is still to play for! (@CowellLes1975)

Really good performance, solid in defence and all the team put a decent shift in. (@RonnieSmith1974)

Very good performance but two points dropped for me, Newport will be happy with a point, we shouldn’t be that happy if we’re serious about getting into the playoffs. (@dubhead77)

Outstanding performance just missed that final touch! Saturday massive but this team seems to thrive on adversity #COYB (@stuferg1990)
