Rarely-seen Wrexham ace has ‘really let himself down’, he won’t start vs Mansfield Town

Wrexham take on fellow promotion chasers Mansfield Town in a League One tie on November 9th.

Wrexham’s league form has taken a hit recently and they have slipped out of the top two for the first time since August.

Wrexham drew 2-2 with Charlton Athletic in their last league fixture, conceding a very questionable penalty in the dying stages of that match, which handed the latter a probably undeserved point.

Prior to that, the Red Dragons were held to a 0-0 draw at the Racecourse Ground by Huddersfield Town.

The clash with Mansfield is also a home tie and Wrexham will fancy their chances of picking up a win given they remain undefeated at their ground in 2024/25.

The Stags are no pushover but Phil Parkinson already knows how to stop a big Mansfield threat.

Why Sebastian Revan will not start for Wrexham vs Mansfield Town

Wrexham’s last game saw them lose 1-0 to Harrogate Town in the first round of the FA Cup on Sunday.

Sebastian Revan was given a rare start at left-wing-back in place of club captain, James McClean.

However, it is fair to say that Revan did not cover himself in glory during his 59-minute appearance.

Now, speaking on the Rob. Ryan. Red podcast, journalist Nathan Salt has given his honest verdict on the former Aston Villa man and suggested he did not show enough to warrant a starting berth against Mansfield.

He said: “I wasn’t angry at Seb Revan playing but he really let himself down, I thought, on the day.

“Loses his man for the corner and ok, there were a lot of players that underperformed but he didn’t really stake his claim to play at the weekend against Mansfield.

“James McClean was at least bright when he came on.”

Sebastian Revan may have blown his chance at Wrexham

The defeat to Harrogate now means Wrexham are already out of both the FA Cup and Carabao Cup this season.

In turn, barring the EFL Trophy, there are going to be very few chances for fringe stars like Revan to prove themselves going forward.

Wrexham are in a very tight promotion battle and Parkinson is unlikely to want to risk changing up his best eleven in the league too much.

The hectic winter schedule may provide Revan with the odd chance here and there but the fact he has lost three and drawn one of the six games he has started this term does not bode well for the wing-back.
