WhoScored overrates Centre-halves who are competitive and busy.
Fozzy won’t gain marks for covering Cashin and shepherding the striker away from goal because he hasn’t registered an action.
In the same instance Cashin won’t lose mark for being two yards out of position and putting Fozzy in that position.
Cash won 13 headers to Fozzy’s five for example.

I'd say it's more than 2 games.  We were ropey against Bolton, absolutely dreadful for 88 minutes against Port Vale, poor against West Ham and pretty poor for the first half against Morecambe too. Even the Cheltenham game before that we were pretty sloppy.  We look way off what we were a month or so ago, and we've started conceding soft goals too.  Hopefully it's just a blip and not burnout from playing so aggressively with a lot of older legs in the team.

A match thread? Really? Why would we want a football match to get in the way of the Chris Martin discussion?

Unless he had a spare £50m+ burning a hole in his back pocket, I suspect not.  It was a matter of time until HMRC or MSD came calling for what we owe them.  And having the stadium and training ground repossessed by MSD possibly would have put us in a worse position.
In terms of the EFL, there's no doubt we were badly treated.  Having the ground valued by a guy that knew nothing about valuing sports stadiums.  The amortization charge off the back of an "expert" who literally did not know the rules he was supposedly an expert on. Points deductions for offences under rules that were subsequently changed to make sure other clubs didn't break them.  Various demands that the administrators break the law or they'd kick us out of the league.  Rewriting administration law on a whim to benefit the  parasite clubs.  An apparently harsher enforced business-plan than any other club has been forced under.  I could go on...

Derby fans used to say that about him when he was smashing 20 goals a season for us.  With the type of player he is, there's always going to be fans that hate him - they want a player who runs about like a madman kicking things, where as Martin has always been a "don't need to run if you're already standing in the right place" type of player.

But the counterpoint to that is, we're not playing against the same standard of opposition as we were 2+ years ago.  We're now a League One club, where half of the league were recently in League two, not a championship club playing against a bunch of recent Prem teams.

Fully expecting the EFL's response to be "Oh, you came in 20% under the budget? Guess you didn't really need it then, so we'll drop it by 20% next season."

There was a spoof post on Twitter (the old 'change your name and profile pic to match a club's account' trick), which apparently Radio Kent fell for and reported.  Radio Kent then deleted their tweet when they realised they'd been had.  As far as I know, he's a free agent still.
