Overshooting

Overshooting the landing spot.

Suppose you feel you are overshooting the landing spot, perhaps because of a small tail wind, or some updraft. Which of the following options is preferred ?

1. Slow down for a steep approach
2. Make some extra turns
3. Side slip

I personally sometimes use the last, but some pilots advised against it.

What are the pro's and con's
