Stoke manager Mark Robins said his side lacked fluidity in attack and admitted it was a laborious performance in the 2-0 over Sheffield Wednesday.
Goals from Jesurun Rak-Sakyi and Lamine Cisse secured victory at the Bet365 Stadium.
But Robins wasn't entirely satisfied with the manner of the result.
"We were nowhere near fluid throughout the game," Robins told BBC Radio Stoke.
"We were at times, but we looked laboured in movement and passing. We created good openings and should have had more chances on goal if we'd had been more awake.
"We got the game done, a clean sheet and 54 points, more than the entirety of last season. You talk about incremental improvement, that is there for everyone to see."
Robins added that expectation was high because Wednesday have already been relegated, and pointed out his squad has been stretched recently.
"It was hard. You're on a hiding to nothing because people expect you to win and score a avalanche of goals. That hasn't happened.
"They've got lots of good players. They've lost some and gained some. Sheffield Wednesday are young and they've been through the mill in the past few seasons.
"We've had eight players to work with whilst others are injured, coming back or on international duty. Logistically it is tough; to get the game won like that was pleasing."
