The Swansea City midfielder was a second half substitute on Tuesday night in the win over West Brom and he is looking to earn himself a starting place in the line up as the Swans look to continue their run up the table.<\/p>\n
Blackpool are the weekend visitors to the Liberty Stadium and Allen is hopeful that he can earn himself that starting place by telling the Western Mail \u201cI got 20 minutes under my belt at West Brom and the aim is obviously now to try and force a start<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been in this position once this season already, but hopefully this is the end of those problems now.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs disappointing as it was to miss out on an U21 game, the international break probably came at a good time for me. It\u2019s helped me get that fitness back.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s strange to think that people have been talking about me coming back into the team when I\u2019m still so young, especially with some of the quality players we have here.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe lads who\u2019ve got the shirts did really well in midweek and have made it very hard for me. I\u2019m still learning, but I\u2019m very critical of myself.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut hopefully I can develop with the more games I play, if I get the chance because the competition for places is as good as ever here.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a big buzz around the place now.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what winning games does, and that\u2019s football. There might have been a bit of a negative vibe earlier on in the season, but we knew it wouldn\u2019t be long before things started to take shape.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe win at West Brom showed that. It\u2019s the kind of thing we expect to be doing and we want more of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
