Doherty, who featured just four times for O'Neill, has claimed that there were occasions when the players didn't even know how they were lining up going into games.
"Everyone thinks there wasn’t a game plan every time, that’s not entirely true. Sometimes there was, sometimes it was less clear," Doherty said on 2FM's Game On.
"Compared to the set-up I have at Wolves, you could class it as old-school. When you were away with Ireland, you didn’t really have that much coaching. It was more of five-a-side, or 11-a-side game, and that would be it.
