we also had a clear game plan that was working well at that point

arguably a draw was a better result for us than them and they hadn't looked like remotely creating anything so we were doing fine, controlling the game. Wisdom's mistake changed all that.
Yes his plan worked but that doesn't mean it was because of the plan. Tactics are only one of the factors that affect the outcome of the game - the question of whether players do their job properly or not is a far far bigger factor (no tactical plan, however ingenious it is, will survive players f***ing up)
