Falling behind (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lagging

'falling behind' is the definition.
('lag' can be a synonym of 'fall behind')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for lagging that I've seen before include "job in the attic?" , "Not up to date" , "Getting behind" , "thermal insulation?" , "Wrapping used to prevent loss of heat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the King Feature Syndicate and the Sydney Morning Herald.
