Hehehe. Well, at least you now know that a horde of goblins isn't anything to take lightly, eh? (I had one knocking on my doorstep recently myself.)

Anyways, what you could do in case they come back for a 2nd helping (or in case a zombie apocalypse is knocking on your doorstep during a Blood Moon) is to dig a hole that's at least 2 blocks wide and at least 2 blocks deep directly in front of each of your doors that lead outside. (You could alternately suspend your doors at least 2 blocks above the ground for the same effect.) That way, instead of trying to break down your doors, the goblins (and zombies) will instead jump in front of your door for a while (because their Ai is telling them that instead of a door being in front of them, there is a wall), then they'll wander off for a bit. It won't work for the goblin sorcerers though.

Better yet, why don't you lure the goblins into some sort of pitfall trap that they can't jump out of? That should keep most of the goblins out of your hair while you deal with the sorcerers directly. However, you'll still eventually need to kill the goblins that fall for your trap...

Hope that this helped you out. :)
