In the second episode of Same Old City, we react to the disappointing defeat to Kidderminster, the draw with Altrincham plus rumours of players refusing to play. We also speculate on whether Morton's days are numbered as manager. In the retro section, we each begin drafting our 'City XI of the century' by picking our top goalkeepers. Hosted on Acast.
