Captain Jake Reeves scored twice from the spot to help his side to victory, with Ali Al-Hamadi also netting twice.
Macaulay Langstaff and Aaron Nemane scored for a battling Magpies side that had briefly mounted a comeback from 2-0 down.
Jackson said: "Reeves hasn't been our penalty taker but everyone else keeps missing them.
"I had a chat with him [before the gamel and obviously he's the captain, he's the calm head in the group, he's the experience in the group and technically he's good.
"The question might be 'Why didn't he take them before?' but obviously you want your strikers taking penalties and it hasn't worked out."
Jackson added: "It was a great game of football, a great spectacle for the league. Both teams were going at it, trying to win, trying to attack.
"They're a good side and we changed the way we play in respect of that.
