I've watched him most weeks.
That article aside, based purely on my own anecdotal evidence I would say that he; is a reasonable shot stopper, with excellent positioning in dead ball situations, is off his line incredibly quickly when the ball is played in behind the centrebacks ( an essential quality in any keeper playing in a AVB team pressing high up the pitch) - and especially useful when you are playing a CB like Dawson who isn't overly mobile.
Though I do wonder if strikers are going to get smart to this at some point and start hitting early dinks over him.
