You're spot on. Wish fans would catch up with Burchnall who seems to believe that Brindley and Chicksen are exactly the type of players you need to play 3-5-2. With that formation there is only 1 'centre-half' position, the other two are specialist roles that solid full-backs are more likely to excel in than conventional CBs who'd appear in a 4-4-2

something like Pedro Richards / Craig Short / Alan Sheehan would be a dream back 3
