The singular of 'should' is 'should'.

True, but "object" is not the verb that has to agree with "anyone". This is an inversion of "anyone should object", where the modal "should" requires the bare infinitive ("object").

Thanks a lot.

Do we always need a subject+verb after subordinating conjunctions?

The thief, having seen the policeman, ...
The thief, seeing the policeman, ...

No, though that is probably the most commonly used structure. If you use a subject and verb, you typically have a finite verb phrase with it, but you can use a non-finite construction, i.e., a clause with a participle or infinitive.
