After a short break Albion return to action against Rotherham at Clifton Lane.

Rotherham having gained promotion back to NL1 after a three season absence Rotherham clearly have no intention of returning any time soon. They have had good start and currently lie 3rd after winning 6 of out of 8 fixtures, including taking the scalps of Rosslyn Park and Birmingham Moseley.

Albion have had less auspicious start and will be looking to prevent a further loss, particularly after the closing moments of the game against Rams. This will be an uphill task with not only a long journey ahead of them, but Rotherham appear to have a good pack. There may be opportunities that Albion could exploit along the back line, so keeping the ball away from the forwards and moving it quickly could be a good strategy.

The wildcards that Albion may have up their sleeves are the new loan signings from the Chiefs - prop Ethan Burger and centre Israel Akinrowo.

The referee for the day will be Ben Rayner - a little bit card happy averaging 2 per game, with most going to the away side.

Weather - overcast, a bit chilly with a light air.

Prediction - the long journey and poor away form against a strong side doesn't look good for Albion. Could come away with a couple of points.

Round 9: Rotherham v Albion
