Neil Taylor admits frustration after Swansea’s defeat at Middlesbrough on Saturday and is desperate for 'that winning feeling' to return at the Premier League club.
The Swans 3-0 defeat at the Riverside Stadium leaves them second bottom of the Premier League at Christmas.
However, the club have a chance to climb out of the relegation zone with home games coming up against West Ham United on Boxing Day and Bournemouth five days later.
"It's been a year where you experience the two extremes of being a footballer," said the 27-year-old, who was part of the Wales side that reached the semi-finals of the European Championship in France.
"You always try to keep yourself on the same level but when you win it is a huge feeling of relief and when you lose it really, really hurts."
Swansea have shipped a league-high 37 goals in 17 matches this season, but manager Bob Bradley's side were left reeling from a second straight defeat after their 3-1 loss at the Hawthorns on December 14.
"There has been a lot of frustration, we are desperate to get back to having that winning feeling. We don't like the feeling of being where we are any more than the fans do," added Taylor.
"It hurts but we are the ones who can change that and that is what we want to do with these big games coming up."
