I'll probably get pelters for this (my first thread and all) but whenever we play away on plastic shite to Killie, Livi and Hamilton, if it was down to me I'd have Stewart starting all of these games. His best ever form as a professional was playing every other week on plastic turf at Killie. He was generally outstanding and scores goals against the diddy teams.
I really think we should be using him more often against the diddy teams playing in a similar role to the one Naismith played under Walter and Ally, floating about just off the striker. Too often against the diddy teams we have one too many midfielders when we would really be doing with another player floating around that pocket between in the middle of the opposition half to draw some defenders out of place and make room for our midfielders to venture forward.
Certainly on plastic I think there is logic to play him as he's used to it and to give the likes of Arfield some rest on the bench. If it isn't working bring him off for Defoe/Jones/Barker/Ojo whoever is on the bench and switch things up.
