Roly, I thought Hall was out for the season ? Hip injury now. Richardson mentioned a week ago specialists are now involved with his issue.
As for Cafu, performances of late I wouldn't play him and I've seen enough of him both home and away this season to say that. His goal at Boro masks a lot of his play, especially that game.
Wyke/Hugill sounds good but as much as I admire Hugill's effort/work rate he needs a reminder he's not first choice anymore and Nombe should be given a start instead. As for Eaves, he should never get in front of these three ever again. Shame he couldn't have been offloaded.
If only there was better news on Blackett/Humphreys, then Oddoffin could be pushed forward to play midfield/number 10 position as he has a lot to offer us. A great all rounder but I'd rather see him in midfield than defence.
Going back to midfield. I see you haven't included Rathbone and I concur. Lost his way a bit of late and needs to find his mojo as we know on his day he's very good. With Lindsay staying, Clucas playing well he's going to find it harder to get back in.
My choice:
Viktor
Kioso, Oddofin, Morrison, Revan,
Tiehi, Lindsay, Rinhomota, Clucas,
Wyke Nombe
Subs:
Phillips
Hughill
Bramhall
Rathbone
Seriki
Cafu
Appiah
Eaves
Having said all that I'm not the Manager that's down to Richardson but I'd definitely go two up front at home and not one.

Didn't know Hall was buggered for season but may as well have been Brin. Agree it would be ideal to have Odoffin further up the field ideally but till we get Humphries / Blackett back that wont happen. How far are these 2 off playing again?
Im assuming LR will go 3 5 2 but may go with a back 5. Cafu can be hot and cold admittedly but may play better with the guy whos name i cant even say next to him in midfield who sounds like a bit of a battler. This could allow him to be a bit more creative.
Ollie? Just looks knackered all the time to me. A bit of a headless chicken. I would definitely flog him atm but no one may be interested.
Tiehi? Never really rated him. To me he never stands out all game. Nice touches at times but needs to be a bit more combatitive and strong in midfield. Hes a big lad.
Not fussed about Hugill partnering Wyke and happy for Nombe to be there. Always get the feeling Hugills going through the motions a bit. He needs a boot up the arse. He may play a bit better now another striker is vying for his shirt.
Still no width re wingers but maybe if Clucas and Cafu can be freed up a bit they may help create summat for the forwards. Also Rimonhota or worrever they call him is meant to be box to box player so maybe he can get the ball up the pitch a bit.
I think the team will b e improved a bit with the new additions and if we can get Blackett or Humphries back fairly soon we can start picking up some wins. Whether we have enough is another matter.
Its the owd story, forget how far udders are in front atm, just set out to try to get as close as poss to 50 points. If we did we know that will give us a good chance of staying up.
Just to add if we do go down, we need to hang on to wyke next season. He will do us a good job in L1.

Agree with Brin about playing 2 Strikers,
Especially at home.
I really wish we had some width though.
Do you think Sedgwick and Monkhouse could come out of retirement as free agents?
Ha ha.
Going 4-5-1
Victor
Kioso Odoffin Morrison Bramall
Femi Clucas Tiehi Rathbone Revan
Wyke
Injuries might force changes but I would have thought that the new lads would need a bit of time to meld in.
So maybe bench appearances for them?
Possible pal. Of Wyke's last five League games he's come off the bench 4 times and started 1 game so effectively he's match fit, or was at the time of his last match.
Siriki - Talking to my Blade mate, he says he's figured twice for the Blades this season in both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup and didn't disgrace himself and showed good promise, if that's anything to go by.
seem to find much about him.say much about him.
Rinomhota - Can't see much about this lad so we'll have to wait and see if he's match fit or not.
Thing about new players is they bust a gut to show their worth so we've that to look forward to.
