The Wolverhampton Wanderers man has been exceptional this season.
Wolves ace Matt Doherty spoke to reporters about his excellent Premier League campaign thus far, and admitted that he initially doubted whether he was good enough to play in the top flight, as quoted by the Shropshire Star.
The Republic of Ireland international has been quite simply brilliant for the Black Country outfit this season, and has racked up six goals and eight assists in 36 appearances in all competitions for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side thus far.
Doherty, 27, has been with Wolves for his entire career, apart from two separate loan spells away from Molineux seven years ago, and he is now undoubtedly one of Nuno’s most important players.
He spoke to reporters about his fine performances fo far this season, and admitted that at one point he thought he was not good enough to play in the Premier League, as quoted by the Shropshire Star:
“I didn’t start the season that well. I had a few performances that weren’t great, and I scored an own goal against Leicester and when you do that you start to think about things and question yourself. Your confidence isn’t the highest. You go through little periods where you’re half-thinking ‘I can’t play here’ – that’s how bad it can get at times. It’s happened loads of times. But you just get through it.”
Wolves currently sit in seventh spot in the Premier League table, and they have every chance of qualifying for the Europa League next term.
And should Doherty continue his fine form, Nuno’s side will have every chance of doing just that.
