STRUGGLERS IN FRIDAY NIGHT ACTION

Llangefni v Airbus
Airbus have picked up just three points from their last four games.
SEVERAL of the Welsh Premier's strugglers take centre stage on Friday night, and bottom of the table Llangefni Town could climb level on points with Porthmadog if they can beat Airbus UK Broughton.
Coach Derek Roberts has called on his squad to adopt a seige mentality to try and avoid relegation after just one season in the top flight.
"Our problem all season has been our consistency," says Roberts.
"We have picked up a few points when we have played well, but the week after we will then go and play poorly and lose.
"We've got a small squad now who are all local lads and will run their hearts out for the club, which is what the fans want to see."
Cefni were 3-1 winners at The Airfield in October but have lost their last four, while the Wingmakers have picked-up just three points from their last five games and will be without suspended striker Paul Hallows again.
Connah's Quay v Cefn Druids
Connah's Quay are still too close to the trap door for comfort as they host fellow strugglers NEWI Cefn Druids on Deeside.
Jim Hackett's Nomads picked-up an encouraging point at Welshpool Town a week ago, while the Ancients were held 1-1 at home by Porthmadog.
Quay welcome back midfielder Wes Kilgannon for his first outing since Boxing Day, but miss the suspended Craig Jones. Striker Darren Williams and central defender Timmy Edwards are available for Druids after missing last Friday's game.
Caernarfon v Newtown
Newtown boss Darren Ryan has challenged his depleted Newtown side to go on and qualify for the FAW Premier Cup and, despite last week's 2-0 loss at Neath Athletic, he backs his side to recover for the trip to Caernarfon Town.
"It will be a difficult game on a terrible pitch and we must adapt because there is no way passing football can be played at Caernarfon," says Ryan, who will be without defensive trio Craig Williams, Shane Sutton and Danny Jellicoe and skipper Glenn Tolley.
The Canaries have striker Paul Addo suspended, while influential midfielder Layton Maxwell is a doubt for boss Steve O'Shaughnessy.
Neath v Haverfordwest
Meanwhile, Neath look to build on the best-ever start to life in the Welsh Premier by a promoted club, at home to improving Haverfordwest, who could draw level on points with the seventh-placed Eagles if they can win at Llandarcy Park.
Bluebirds' boss Derek Brazil has been delighted with his side's progress and says: "The squad is now taking shape and I'm confident all the players will remain with us next season.
"It takes time to build and we now have strength and depth."

The list of players missing for Newtown is hefty for this league with their manager making excuses about the standard of the pitch before the game ...the weather has been great this week so can't see Caernarfon pitch in a better condition.
Home win for Caernarfon
