"I've just managed to hit the form that I was in at Wolves. I feel really good on the pitch and things are going really well. That has just come with game-time, the manager trusting in you, and obviously, the formation helps a lot, Doherty on playing under Conte.
"It's just happening now where I feel I've gained his trust. Even when we lost to United, lost to Middlesbrough, I wasn't taken out. I'm able to repay him and help the team set up goals and win games.
"There were times that I played for him and was in and out and then against Leeds (when he scored the opener and set up another in a 4-0 win) I kind of nailed it down and have been in ever since."
"More professional, more focused on what you're putting into your body, more focused on recovery. Tactically more aware," added Doherty.
"So many things that he's made all of us have little improvements on already and he's not had a full season yet. He's not even had a pre-season. So you can imagine with a full pre-season what kind of shape and what kind of state of mind we might be in. That is exciting.
"At home, you don't dip into that sweet drawer that everyone has in the house. You want to be switched on, you don't want to give him any excuses, and you want to be ready for him because he gives everything for us so we have to give everything for him."
