Question Downwind Autorotations?

We all know should you suffer an engine failure downwind you would perform a 180 degree auto to finish flaring into wind.

However there are apparently 4 defined reasons why it's bad to auto downwind - any ideas?

- Fast ground run on speed?
- Larger glide distance?
- poor IAS in relation to ground speed?
- ?
