Heggem at CB, Styles at LB, Molumby to start and Grant replacing Swift would be the changes for me. Not sure which of Bartley or Holgate I'd drop to allow Heggem at CB though...probably Holgate.
I'm not expecting much from the game but I just hope we get a performance that shows we want to win.

Hard to predict the team for this one, will they keep some continuity or will it be more wholesale changes to keep it fresh with half and eye on a more winnable game on New Year's day at home to Preston?

Personally I think we do need some fresh legs and would pick a team with some of our best athletes in, that would include Grant, Styles, Diakite and Molumby. Maybe something like:

Palmer

Furlong
Holgate (would prefer McNair but expect that's not an option)
Bartley
Heggem
Styles

Grant
Diakite
Molumby
Diangana

Maja

I think it will depend on Holgate injury but if he’s fit he’s in for me
I’ll keep banging the drum about legs in central midfield,starting with Mowatt and Racic should be illegal.

Palmer

Furlong
Holgate
Heggem
Styles

Mulumby
Diakite
Mowatt

Johnston
Maja
Fellows

I was looking forward to attending this game until I realised the kickoff time...... and the asking price of £38. Fair play to those including my lad who are travelling and I hope you're rewarded with three points for your troubles. As for Sheffield United they can stick their prices up their hoo hah and I hope they have an abysmal New Year. COYB  8) .

Don't hold out much hope for getting anything out of this one.  Sheffield Utd have been able to spend dosh this season and their position confirms it.
Oh, and will our players have a clue what to do without the excitable little guy dancing, shouting and waving at them from the technical area? 

Their mental scaffolding is no longer there. They must learn to play without his prompts; bit like in the post Sir G Megaphone era.  Interesting.

I'm still available for the relatively modest consultancy price of a match ticket, travelling and drinking expenses. Anyone up for starting a Go Fund Me page on my behalf?

Be prepared to pay for any fines I incur for belting anyone whilst on the touchline, in the tunnel or even the match official changing facilities at half time or after the game.

Serious question
Does anyone actually look forward to playing these?
Sheffield Utd are in that group of Burnley, Leicester,derby that we never seem to do well against.

I think I might be tempted to rest maja fellows and Johnston from the start and maybe go with wing backs
Stay in the game and make subs last 20 if in with a shout of getting something
I’m expecting a loss so might be a game to try a couple out we can hardly be any worse than the other night

                                         Palmer

                Holgate.             Bartley.       Heggem

Furlong.                                                                     Frabotta

                         Diakite.    Molumby.   Styles


                             Grant.       Cole.

I'll be interested to see if there is any change in how we play or if it will continue to the same as under Corberan but without the organisation (like we saw at Derby).
That's not  criticism of Brunt et al but if they're going to be in charge for a few games then will they try and implement a change in playing style?
I'm expecting a loss but want to see a decent performance for both halves.

100% this they bring so much energy to the team.

Brunt, ex-Wednesday in his first managerial task looking for his first win with the team he achieved legendary status with. It’s written in the stars? Shock 2-1 to us!

I think we will go all out attack and shock sheffu
Most outside of baggies fans expect us to lose so lets go for it with our best attacking line up and find a space for Diang

I just don't want to see a repeat of the the way the Derby match was played. It is football and not somewhere they can just stroll around being lacklustre.

Dreading this. Expecting a 3/4-0 loss with the management setup we currently have in charge.

McNair on the bench too. Quite surprised by that.
Interested to see how Diakite and Molumby do.
