dannygeale welcome to IM!

no, supplements are not necessary.
post your diet in the diet/nutrition forum.
post your training routine in the training forum.

Open a fitday.com account, measure everyting you eat and log it all in your journal. If you eat right, sleep anough and bust ass in the gym you willl get more musclular (slowly).

You dont need anything but a good diet, and good meal timing. I never used to take anything and looked good and was making gains. Now however, I look even better, lift more and are making bigger gains, but I do spend a bit of money on CEE, protein, clen etc.

Post more info. Post everything you eat broken down by meal.

You shouldn't be eating bread.

your consuming too much protein during a single meal. Break your meals into smaller portions and eat more meals per day.

You shouldn't need more than 30 grams of protein during one meal. You should aim to eat 6 meals a day. I do alright with 5 some days, but if I had more time I would do 6.

Post your your training program, so we can see how much yous should be eating. Read the Diet and nutrition stickies, also.
