I'd take the risk and put him on the third pair moving forward and allow Andersson to continue to progress with more responsibility this year. If it's not working, there's no reason you can't go back.
Well one of the reasons Brodie struggles away from Gio is that he is a LHD that sucks on the left side and the only reason he is ever separated from Gio is to try and force him into a traditional L-R pairing
