Giving in to failure too readily (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

defeatist

(Other definitions for defeatist that I've seen before include "If date set (anag.)" , "He does not expect to win" , "expecting to fail" , "One expects frustration" , "Unnecessarily pessimistic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
