Yep.
In truth, up until about 2010 he was dropping clangers pretty consistently, often in the Clasicos (he gifted Ronnie at least three goals I can recall). But he matured as a keeper, stopped charging from his line needlessly, got better at getting into position and reacting, instead of guessing all the time. Capable of special saves now and again, too. Much better than Linders.
This is a good time to recall that Borsuk thought Lindegaard would turn out to be better than Dave.
