Speaking to the Sporting Life after the game, Jackett said: "It was a big test for us today when Coventry got their equaliser.
"It was a little bit of a disappointing goal and perhaps we'd had more of it up until that stage but it went to one each and the last half hour was a big test - were we going to fall away or did we have enough to step up a gear?
"We put a lot of pressure on them and put on a very good performance."
He added: "When you look at the league table it shouldn't make us complacent because people analyse you and are coming after you but it should give us some hope and confidence.
"That's all it is because we haven't proved anything yet but this little spell has perhaps gives us optimism for the season.
"As the season goes on people will know more about us and we'll have to keep to our standards."
