In his productive seasons he was scoring far more with his head than somebody of his size normally would do. This season I don't really recall him even having a headed chance.

Whether that's through accident (Guessand / Sancho / Malen etc being rubbish at crossing) or design (playing more through the middle and shooting more from distance), I reckon that's where a big part of his drop-off has come from.

Sancho for all his faults has laid two absoulte sitters on a plate for him (Sunderland and Go Ahead Eagles)

Last season or maybe the one before, I read that Ollice had been told to not to make his runs wider than the 18 yard box.

This season (and noticeably last night) he’s making wider runs. Which isn’t working.
