I don't know if I agree with the idea that he lost the moment the first palisades were put up. Accounts I've seen tend to make the battle seem like a close run thing at a few different points.

Let's say before he still had some good chances, particularly if he could avoid them until the huge relief army appeared, but once he was caged in the odds shifted brutally.
