Failures; losers (4-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

also-rans

(Other definitions for also-rans that I've seen before include "They don't win the race" , "They do not finish in the first three" , "They're not placed among the first three" , "Non-placed entrants" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
