Match ends, Newport County 1, Grimsby Town 1.
Omar Bogle's eighth goal of the season was not enough to earn Newport County victory over Grimsby Town.
Newport were the better of the two sides for large periods, but were unable to find the breakthrough at Rodney Parade until the 72nd minute.
Bogle tapped home a cross from Shane McLoughlin to score against his former club.
But the lead was cancelled out within five minutes as Danny Rose's close-range effort earned Grimsby a point.
Newport remain 17th in League Two, while Grimsby are two points below in 18th.
Newport's next match is a Welsh derby away to Wrexham on 23 December, while Grimsby host Harrogate.
Newport manager Graham Coughlan: "I think we deserved to win and should have won but we chucked it away. Again it was the unreliability and lack of a clean sheet.
"One or two players I want to be able to trust let me down. They don't normally do that but it was a very soft goal.
"We are just chucking points away too easily and I have to address that. One or two players will need to be changed, one or two things will need to happen to stop that.
"I know my remit was to stay in and survive but I want a little bit more and we can achieve that with one or two new additions or fresh faces."

Let's be honest Newport are a limited team but they kept the ball well today but just needed to take their chances.
But that's 1 loss in 6 games
