John Coleman praised his two-goal striker Josh Andrews and says he will get better after Stanley's 2-1 win against bottom club Forest Green.
The on-loan Birmingham striker headed home in each half as the Reds ended a thee-match winless run.
Mathew Stevens pulled a late goal back for Rovers, who slipped to the foot of the division after a sixth straight defeat.
Coleman said: “I was hoping Josh would get his hat-trick. He is a smashing lad and he knows he can get better.
"You can see the signs, his hold-up play and link-up play was good in the first half. It’s just about being less wasteful as a team.
“But I am delighted with the win. In patches I was delighted with the way we played, but I hated the way we finished the game.
“We ended up with the perception that you are hanging on, even though our keeper didn’t have a save to make, when it should have been out of sight in the first half.
“That’s something we have to learn our lessons from as we have been punished in the past. When we are on top, we have to take the game to the opposition but we tried to amble through it.
“We saw in patches how good we can be, there were some great passing moves, and then in patches how naive we can be, we lost possession cheaply and we were wasteful.”
