The Nomads manager took it all in his stride, even if it was the first time since 27 September they had failed to score.
The draw ensured the Nomads extended their unbeaten run in the league to 17 games and kept them 10 points clear of their hosts in second place in the JD Cymru Premier Championship Conference.
With European places on the line, it was important for Disney and his men not to let the gap close.

“I’m happy with a clean sheet. We’d only had two in the last eight games and I asked the defenders to be more solid,” said Disney.
“We had a couple of half chances but there wasn’t enough quality in the final third. Penybont defended their box very well.
“This league is really tough every time you play, yet my team have just gone 17 games unbeaten. I’m immensely proud of them.
“The group have been fantastic this season and it’s going to take a very good team to beat us.
“If we can keep this run going we will finish in a good position and this is another point on the board and another game down.”

While there is a 10 point gap between second and third, there is now a 12 point gap at the top after The New Saints won 2-0 at Colwyn Bay.
Two more goals from Jordan Wiliiams proved the difference and took his league tally for the season to 24 – on course to surpass Declan McManus’s 26 in 2022-23 and Greg Draper’s 27 in 2018-19 for TNS.
The next target is Marc Lloyd-Williams’ tally of 34 for the same club back in 2004-05.
Williams struck first in the 53rd minute to break the deadlock at a ground where TNS had been held to a draw earlier in the season, and then converted from the penalty spot in the 66th minute.

“We defended really well and we well and truly deserved to win the game. It keeps the pressure on the chasing pack,” said TNS boss Craig Harrison.
“Our performances have been really good and we’ve got four clean sheets out of five.
Seven games left and we are now just fully concentrated on playing Caernarfon Town next week.”
The Nomads may be unbeaten in 17 league outings, but with draws in their last four games they have lost ground on the leaders, although they still have that 10-point cushion over Penybont, in third.
Ben Williams-Margetson set Barry Town United on their way to a win at Caernarfon Town when he struck in added time at the end of the first half.
That’s how it stayed until the 90th minute when Oli Hulbert added a second to seal a 2-0 triumph.
It was a defeat that pushed the Cofis four points behind Penybont in fourth place.
Barry were able to close the gap on Colwyn Bay at the bottom of the Championship Conference to four points.
Haverfordwest County made it three out of three in the Play Off Conference as they ensured they stay at the top, and on course for the European play-offs, with a 3-0 home win over Bala Town.
It was another miserable night for Bala, who have only won once in their last 10 outings.
It was also their third defeat of the season against their Pembrokeshire hosts.
Two goals in the space of four minutes midway through the first half set the Bluebirds on their way, Kyle Kenniford opening the scoring and then Corey Shephard got the second to go into double figures for the season in all competitions.
Shephard followed up with a second in the 80th minute to enable his side to move further ahead of Cardiff Met, who played out their fifth 1-1 draw in their last seven games as they shared the points at home against bottom of the table, Llanelli Town.
It was the first point The Reds had picked up since their home draw with Caernarfon Town on 15 November.
Joe Lloyd gave the visitors the lead in the seventh minute before Jasper Payne levelled seven minutes into the second half.
Briton Ferry Llansawel and Flint Town United played out a goalless draw.
