Could Morrison play CM, with Taylor in the back 4?
Why would you do that when you have several players in Hughes, JJ, Stephens, Pritchard and maybe N'Guessan who can play CM or in midfield?
We would do that if we wanted more of a defensive balance in midfield, assuming Hughes (the obvious option) was out of the equation, as he seems to be.
Playing all three centre-halves in one match is a risk I'd rather not take, an injury, red card or suspension and we are screwed for the next match.
I thought the deadline was Marxh 31st but Today's Daily Mail did a big article on Premiership players who were walking a tightrope re susspensions............got the feeling the ban ends after Easter

According to FA Handbook it's 2nd Sunday in April so tomorrow (my third go at answering this question!!!)
Final answer: NYE - 5 yellows, Tomorrow - 10 yellows
Of we appeal Hollands red card and they extend the ban Monday could be his last game of the season. I really don't think that would be a good idea.
I wasn't there but the commentators sounded like it was a fair decision. If it's deemed violent conduct it will be a three game ban which means we could be champions by the time he's eligible again.
I'm not too bothered, we need three points as a minimum to secure promotion and probably another three/four on top of that for the title. If we can't win at least one of the last five games then it won't be because we are missing Hollands.
Looking at Walsall's last few results 1-2 2-2 1-1 3-1 3-3 3-2
They seem to be hitting some form up front, so we'll need a good defensive performance, but they look vulnerable at the back, a refreshed BWP to take advantage hopefully
Nicely balanced team, 3 of them come in fresh and every position covered by that 16 - though have a feeling SCP will have Haynes on the bench rather than Hughes. Suspect that Hughes may well have played his last game for us, somehow.
I agree ISawLeaburnScore, Which is why i think Hughes would offer more bite in the midfield. Especially as looking at Walsall's latest run, which shows they can attack.
I wouldn't consider pace to be so important for CM - an asset if you've got it, but not vital. Quick feet, good 1st touch, vision and a good engine are probably more important.

EDIT: Apologies, I think 5 yellows was December 31st and 10 yellows is April 15th
I think it's now ten yellows.

They might score a few, but they've still let in 11 goals in 6 matches.
