Cardiff City boss Steve Morison has backed Callum Robinson to bounce back from the agony of his missed penalty in the defeat to Huddersfield Town on Saturday.
The forward spurned the chance to open his Bluebirds account midway through the first half of a frustrating afternoon at the John Smith's Stadium, with an early Jordan Rhodes strike eventually enough to condemn City to defeat.
Robinson, to his credit, responded well, but was clearly disappointed by missing the chance not to bring his side level.
However, it seems he has the full backing of his boss.
"Honestly that's the most bizarre question ever. It's not something I've even thought about," the Cardiff boss responded when asked if the former West Bromwich Albion man will stay on spot kick duties.
"Obviously everyone expects you to score a penalty and he didn't," he added. "Then you have the next one that comes over the top and he's got to bring it down and score. Obviously he'll be gutted.
"He'll feel a sense of responsibility, but I'm sure he'll score many goals when he gets the opportunities.
"He's a good player. He's just frustrated, as would anyone be, but he's a professional so he just gets on with it."
Meanwhile, Morison was convinced his side should have had another penalty just before the break.
Robinson fed Jaiden Philogene on the edge of the box, who was then brought down with a heavy challenge from Jack Rudoni. Callum O'Dowda hit the resulting free-kick straight at the keeper, but the Bluebirds boss was adamant it should have been more.
"It's a stonewall penalty. It's in the box by a yard," Morison fumed.
"He [the official] couldn't tell, so he went with the safe option, which was giving a foul outside the box, but the lino's looking straight at it.
"You've got to be able to differentiate between inside and outside the box. There's a line there on the floor. But we can't change it now."
The defeat perhaps dents the momentum built up by the win over Middlesbrough in midweek, with Morison admitting that predicting Huddersfield's set-up under interim boss Narcis Pelach was always going to be tough.
Eyebrows may well have been raised by the decision to leave Mark Harris, so impressive against Boro, on the bench, but Morison confirmed the Wales international started from the bench due to fitness concerns.
"It was a difficult one today, because we didn't know what they were going to do. They made a lot of changes, changed their formation, changed their style of play. Took all risk out of the game.
"We had to freshen it up. Sparky [Mark Harris] had a dead leg from the game on Tuesday, so he hadn't trained up until we came up today.
"So we thought we'd change it up, freshen it up and try and hurt them regardless of what shape on the turnover, which we did at times in the first half after the first 10-15 minutes. Obviously having Sparky on the bench we had the ability to then change and we did. We went for it with a couple more up top and got Callum [O'Dowda] back to wingback.
"So we couldn't really figure out what they were going to do until we saw their team-sheet."
