I don't think it's so much that she screwed up as she overestimated the North's support for her cause. She knows she can't trust Littlefinger and she knows Robin is his thrall. She hedged her bets on being able to garner enough support to retake Winterfell without the Knights of the Vale and lost. In the end, she and everyone else knows that Littlefinger doesn't do anything unless it directly benefits him (unlike my man Varys, to whom he's often compared, who balances his self interest with some greater albeit unspecified purpose...I don't completely buy his "for the good of the realm" angle although I think there's some truth in the statement). Neither she nor Jon are duplicitous enough to be able to spot his treachery...although I feel that task will fall to Davos.
