Expecting the worst (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pessimistic

(Other definitions for pessimistic that I've seen before include "Lacking hope for the future" , "Hopeless!" , "Tending to look on the dark side of things" , "Doubting - foreboding" , "Looking on the black side" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
