Another detail with this game is that Impressive in non-BL knights vs BL turk knights.
Also Celts is a very strong flank civ and can push in both feudal and castle age.
With that in mind Spring should have made a ton of xbows instead of this risky FC crap.
You can't and shouldn't rely on pocket to bail you out after you make a risky play.
Alternatively Spring and pocket can communicate and pocket can go 1-2 TC max and focus on knights. I'm not sure if there was opportunity for this, seemed to me they hit Spring pretty fast and decisively.
