Leeds and Fulham had a deal settled for the Wales midfielder, but the Cottagers then blocked the transfer after Chelsea refused to release Tyrique George to them.
Ahead of the weekend trip to Fulham, Farke said: "It's fair to say we are not dancing on the table. But you won't hear one bad comment from me (about deadline day). My job is to adapt to the reality. I don’t need to feel sorry for myself. We need to earn the right to stay up.
"After we failed to bring an offensive option in, it’s important for us not to be too much of a victim. I’m not too angry that everyone writes us off. Let them (pundits) write us off, no problem.
"They say we had the same attackers, plus Rutter, Sinisterra and Rodrigo in 2023. So we will not be big favourites (to stay up). But we will stay humble and we will look to prove the doubters wrong."
