The Bantams, who have largely endured a campaign to forget so far and currently sit in 17th place, secured only their second clean sheet in four months against Morecambe on Saturday, with Jackson claiming his second win from three games since taking over from Peter Taylor on a temporary basis.
The former Huddersfield and Lincoln boss has been focused on tightening up the defence during his short time at the helm and was delighted to see his plans coming to fruition at the weekend.
He told the Telegraph and Argus: "The three goals we've conceded (since I got the interim job) have all been avoidable. That's why the clean sheet on Saturday was one of the most pleasing things.
"We've drilled it into them in training about the importance of a clean sheet. You can build on that. You get clean sheets, you get points, you get up the table, you get in the play-offs.
"You look at the team and our strength is going forward with the attacking players we have. But a clean sheet is such a big part and that will be great for confidence."
