Allen struck a superb 20th-minute decider to get his side off the mark with a first shut out since late February.
The Saddlers shipped a 17-year high 73 goals last term but Allen is determined to build strong defensive foundations in the new campaign.
He said: “A great start. We were solid as a team from the back to the front. We didn’t really let them create many chances. That’s what we’re looking to do this season, trying to keep more zeros. A 1-0 win – we’ll take them all day.
“We spoke about it in pre-season, if we can keep clean sheets and keep less chances going into our goal then we’re always going to get one chance.
“If we can take that chance then we’re going to win games. That’s the main thing for us is to keep it out of our goal and if we get a chance, can we take it?”
