HERE’S the final say from Newport with five City talking points from the weekend’s draw.

RENT FREE

Derek Adams has clearly got into Newport’s heads.

He was subjected to a non-stop barrage of abuse at Rodney Parade from the moment he emerged from the dressing room.

His reaction that he “heard nothing” was a great response to the constant stick – and even Newport’s official club Twitter feed bit with an “I don’t believe you” gif afterwards.

They also included an image of Adams getting yellow-carded as one of their pictures from the match.

OFF THE BOIL

Callum Cooke has not been as effective in the number 10 role in the last few games.

Cooke is a big influence on the Bantams going forward but he has been quieter of late and struggled to make any impact on the Newport defence as the home side controlled the middle of the park.

Abo Eisa’s return from injury is timely because he can potentially provide competition in that position with his pace and make sure Cooke keeps on his toes.

ON SONG

Yann Songo’o is looking like the imposing presence we all anticipated when he signed in the summer.

The month-long absence through injury held him back and it has taken a while to get into his stride.

But after four successive starts, you can see the powerful figure that Adams was so keen to bring with him from Morecambe.

Songo’o has played a big part in the back-to-back clean sheets since being switched to centre half.

WALKING TIGHTROPE

Bookings for Paudie O’Connor and Elliot Watt mean they are both one yellow away from a suspension.

O’Connor has been booked in his last three games now – and four of the last five – to threaten a run which saw him bring up 50 consecutive league starts on Saturday.

Watt, who is also on the edge of a one-game ban in midfield, has not kicked on since scoring that cracker against Walsall a month ago.

PULL THE TRIGGER

City fired a third blank in four away games when they failed to score in south Wales.

The most infuriating aspect of their performance was a tendency to want too many touches in front of goal rather than having a go.

It was a shortcoming in the first half when they were on top and really should have put a lot more pressure on Newport keeper Joe Day.

The biggest culprit was surprisingly top scorer Andy Cook who seemed unusually hesitant in the penalty area and wanted too much time before shooting.
