I understand how to move around the curve and take goblins out
could you share your knowledge?
This entire level is pretty much about learning to deal with goblin hordes. Unfortunately, it's hard to describe how to handle them -- short of a demo I'm not sure what's going to be helpful.
robin's notes above are good.
Your basic guideline is that one goblin is easy, two are usually not bad, and three or more can be pretty tough.
The other basic guideline is that you're fairly safe with your back to the wall, sword facing straight out from the wall (assuming wall on either side of you). They won't approach you there (but they may surround you and make moving impossible).
One thing that may help is playing Jacob's Goblin level in the Advanced Concepts hold. It gives a lot of insights into goblin movement (although I don't think it does much with hordes).
Good luck. If you're really stuck, you can ask for a demo (someone else will probably be able to provide one faster than I can, but you never know).
