Swansea City head to Watford on Saturday on the back of a run of just 2 defeats in their last 21 games but the satisfaction with the draw at Middlesbrough last weekend was soon backed by the frustration of a home draw with Coventry.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Allen says that the team are confident that they can hit the ground running with wins again and that they intend to start on the road with a win at Watford this weekend.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We are confident we can turn those draws into wins,” he told BBC Sport.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We know we can do better and we are sure we can put that right on Saturday. It’s similar to last season.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Obviously to go to Middlesbrough, come away with a point and we had a chance of taking all three points was promising and pleasing<\/span><\/p>\n

“But the other night was a very frustrating game against a team who came for a 0-0 draw and that’s what they got. [It] was disappointing but it hasn’t disheartened the team.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I think the way teams set up against us make is very difficult sometimes and maybe that shows a bit of respect [and] shows that teams really do rate us and are afraid to [play against us, which I suppose you can take as a positive.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We haven’t got a great track record against them (Watford), so we know it’s going to be tough, but we got a late equaliser against them earlier in the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Judging our team against theirs I think we have got enough ability to turn them over even away from home. So that’s our main aim but first of all to get the performance right.”<\/span><\/p>\n
