With just over one week to go until the start of the Championship season the man Doughty has appointed to the City Ground hotseat, Steve McClaren, has brought in Andy Reid, Jonathan Greening and veteran midfielder George Boateng.
Current talk is linking Wayne Routledge with a move from Newcastle and Doughty has confirmed that talks are underway over a deal.
He told the Nottingham Evening Post: "That is what the manager is focussing on, I think, one or two more players.
"If we can get a wide player in, to add to the likes of Reid, Anderson and McCleary, then that would be his priority."
Speculation meanwhile about the return of Colin Calderwood to the club has ended after the decision to make Rob Kelly McClaren's number two.
