Copeland was expected to play. The only press reports found name Whiting specifically. Bob Whiting, the goalkeeper, recently signed, is widely reported as having made a good impression in the final 1st-team game of the season on the same day, so this game is currentl attributed to William Whiting, though that too could well be wrong and the reporter naming Whiting could well have been quoting a name from the original proposed line-up, not realising he had been changed.
