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

Brindley is better on the ball and help build from the back better. His extra mobility will help on the right side of a 3 as you can be exposed a lot in 1 on 1 situations (Rawlinson v Sutton being a good example)

Brindley may give up some aerial presence on Turner but if we keep the ball and Bromley away from our box, it's so much an issue
