Bognor manager Jack Pearce said his players were "superb" after their 1-0 at Hayes.
The Rocks had seven players out injured and had to draft in goalkeeper Mark Fox and midfielder Scott Kirkwood on loan from Crawley as cover at the last minute.
But they dominated most of the play and took the points thanks to a goal from Albion loan striker Ben Watson four minutes after half time.
Pearce said: "If they had equalised at the end it would have been a crime because it was the most convincing win anyone at the ground would have seen.
"To do that with the amount of players we had out and against a pretty good side was absolutely fantastic and I can't praise my team enough."
