Doherty, who has four assists to his name this season, has also struck up a friendship with Gareth Bale, which has translated into a good link-up down the right-hand side together.
"Lately, me and Gareth have been playing together, whether it has been in cup games, Europe or wherever, and I feel we do link up well," he said.
"He goes inside, gets in the pockets, obviously, opposition players are scared to go near him because he is so good on the ball, and I'll do the running up the line if I have to.
"Whether he slides me in, puts me out wide or I get the cross in, we seem to link up well and we just seem to have an understanding.
"I know if I make a run, he has the vision and the weight of pass to slide me in - and it'll be perfect. So, I do really enjoy playing with him."
"We started off the season really well. We were consistent. We just looked really good, everybody was pretty confident," he explained.
"Then we seemed to be in an extended period of lost confidence and it's not really normal to have been out of form for that long.
"I think we just needed to believe in ourselves again believe that those first three or four months of the season wasn't the peak for us.
"Going forward, if you just look at the games in front of us, we've just got to knuckle down and build on our good performances to give us that boost.
"We need to just build a chain of wins and that will breed confidence, and with the players we have here, when everybody has that confidence, it can become an unstoppable team."
