The 31-year-old's latest key contribution came on Saturday, scoring one and providing another in the 3-1 defeat of Southampton, which will have no doubt impressed watching England assistant Ray Lewington.
Nolan outshone several of Saints' England prospects and led some to suggest he deserves a belated a shot at the national team, although Allardyce suspects that chance is gone for the man capped at Under-18 and Under-21 levels.
Sam Allardyce: "He has had a lot of times that he has knocked on the door and I don't think that's going to make much difference for him now.
"It would be nice if he did, but it is just about Kevin continuing where he is now.
"He is in his thirties now so he has got to continue his career as long as he possible can by doing what he has always done and that is score goals.
"Apart from a short spell out in the Championship with Newcastle, he has scored goals every single season he has played at a very, very high level for a midfield player.
"There are very, very few players better than him at scoring goals from midfield."
Allardyce's views on Nolan are shared by bookmakers, with one pricing him at 50/1 to make the World Cup.
