On-loan midfielder backs Dark Blues to start firing

Next up, the Dark Blues welcome Hibs to Dens Park on Sunday in front of the Sky Sports cameras and Allan knows it’s about time they start to convert some of the chances they’re creating.

“Football is all about winning and getting points.

“In the Hamilton game we could easily have been 2-0 up early doors, then on Saturday we lost a goal from a set-piece, got back into the game, kept going and probably should have got another through myself.

“We had some half-chances but they didn’t create much and it’s a bit frustrating to lose a goal like that.

“We go into the Hibs game on Sunday and take the positives and have a right go again.

“If you’re not making chances then you’ve got real problems but we look a real threat when we go forward.

“Hopefully, the fans can see the positives and can get behind us next week.

“I’m really looking forward to it, it’s a good platform for us to put a base down and show teams how good we really can be. The teams that have played us will have seen that.

“I think Hibs play less football than they have done under previous managers but they’re a strong side full of good players.

“For us we just have to look at ourselves, we’re close to turning into a right good side.

“It’s early days, the team is gelling together and the positives outweigh the negatives — I think that’s the main thing at this moment in time.”
