Don't you think PNR, that we should drop the IF here. LW has coached 70+ games here at Notts, all starting with a back 3...
While LW is head coach we will play his system, a back 4 would mean a new head coach I'd say.

He started a back 4 v Lincoln in the league cup and against Forest in the friendly
I think if we get to Division 1 he might have to consider it as better and cleverer forwards will punish us more

If we get to Division 1 he will be such a hero that I won’t mind if we play one at the back. Not that we’d avoid being thrashed each week by the likes of Brighton, Spurs, Man City and the rest, however many we have in defence.

If he stays with us and does indeed get us back to the top tier hopefully we'll have some cleverer defenders by then!

Indeed. And yet, if any club's recruitment could pull this off at our level... you'd have to think its ours :)
