Probably to give him confidence. He's scored penalties in the past. I think of the late, legendary Peter Whittingham. Dave Jones put him on penalty duties one season. He scored loads, his confidence rose, he scored unbelievable goals and finally become a first team regular. Prior to that he was a bit in and out at times.

Not true by my recollection or interpretation. Other than maybe a few months in his first season he was a regular barring injury. His talents were innate and always on show. You just had to notice them.
